I added some stuff in my login script to set the user name and initials for people. Here is what I ended up with. Neil and others were a huge help. I can't take credit for it. There was a big thread on this at Kix.org also. Hopefully freelists will not mangle this too bad.

Hi list And here is my last question for today :-) After that I installed the Office 2000 Suite, some users, who probably didn't enter THEIR name and initials in the Popup field that oppened =3D when they first start Office, and kept my name and initials in that field, =3D ran arround creating and changing Office documents on my behalf. :-( So I searched where in the registry or somewhere else this information is =3D kept, but I didn't find it. Of course user can change this themselves within Word, but I would like =3D to script this. So, does anybody knows where are the Office User information kept ?
