    Appreciate some assistance.

    When Microsoft Office Professional was installed on this PC, the incorrecrt spelling of my name was entered for the program. Now, every time something like MS Word is used, the initial screen when the program starts shows my name incorrectly spelled.

    Presume the name needs changed in the Registry, but do not know where to go to change it.

    Any suggestion as to which Registry key to check out?

    Thanks for your help.

    Run regedit and do a search (F3) for the incorrect spelling, and correct each occurance. Works on 98se & Office 2K

    Was it a vowel or a consonant?
