User Info in Office....

[Colin Carpenter]

Dear all,

I'm trying (without success) so far to find an automated way of updating the
user information held by Office. To do this manually you have to open Word
(we're using Office XP pro) go to tools, options and user information - here
you can enter your name and initials. Some user details have become screwed
up (by the users probably) and we'd like to refresh this info at logon as
part of their logon script. I assumed this info might be held in the
registry but that doesn't seem to be the case - I'd be really grateful for
any help.

Thanks,

Colin.

On Windows NT systems it is located in the following key
NOTE: the big numbered folder will change, but typically
starts with 904.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18
\Products\9040820900063D11C8EF00054038389C\InstallProperti
es
Not sure on the 9x systems.
