Name misspelled

[Guest elmarsa dice]

MPWxpG readers,

My windows XP has a minor annoyance to me that I would like to remove.

The name on the end user license aggreement is misspelled and always

comes up on the signature on word and other documents. Is there a way

to correct the spelling in the registry or some other way. Any help

is appreciated in advance.

Yes. The method depends on which version of Office you are running.

You need to change the registered owner. Here's a web site where you can

download a program that will help with this problem.

Change the Registered Owner/Organization in Windows XP

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_change_owner.htm

 

If you prefer to do this manually, go to Start -> Run and enter regedit.exe in

the Open box.

In the Registry Editor, navigate to this registry key.

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

 

In the right hand pane, right click on RegisteredOwner and select Modify from

the menu.

Change the entry under Value data to the correct name. Click OK.

Close the Registry Editor.

 

You may have to restart your computer to see a change in About Windows.

 

For your Office programs, I think you'll have to look for an option within the

programs to change the user name.

 

Good luck

Run regedit and search for the misspelling and change it.

To change the name use the tool here and reboot

To change the name in Office 2007 open Ms Word and click the Office

Button->Word options button->Popular section

To change the name in earlier version of Office open Ms Word and select

Tools->Options->User Information Tab

Thanks to all that responded. When Nepatsfan identified where in the

registry the name was hidden, I changed it and wallah!!!! it was

corrected. Thanks again for your help. This newsgroup is

indispensible.
