Unknown User on network

[discofly]

Feel free to move this if it's not in the correct thread.

I have several desktops running Windows XP Pro on a Windows 2000 SBS network. The desktops run Office XP 2002.

When someone logs onto a machine for the first time and opens and office application such as Word or Excel a popup appears that asks for that users name and initials. It usually auto-completes as the login name.

However, one of the users on the network is somehow listeed as 'Unknown User'. I know this as I tried to open a file that she had open and it said it was in use by Uknown User. This would usually say Joe.Bloggs etc.

In the Help/ About Microsoft Word menu the name is also Unkown User.

How can I change this to her name for future reference?

Thanks all.

In Word look under Tools/Options/User Information.

Many thanks,

If I change this in Word, will it automatically change it for all Office applications?

Thanks,

Mark

I think so, yes - but give it a try!
