Situation: A company with a fairly high turnover, used the standard of the company name instead of user name when installing MS Office products ('97, 2000 and XP). With the advent of viruses that send mail using that name as the FROM field (Melissa and her variants) the company wants to reduce employee likelihood of opening infected mail, since employees may think it's from the company.

To do: Use VB script to change the Company name and User name in versions of MS Office ('97, 2000 and XP). Registry entries found okay for 2000 and XP, but '97 is a nightmare! Where is that info stored? Q233499 says to uninstall and re-install. Not a realistic solution. Comments?
