I know that I have seen the answer here. If someone would be so kind as to point me to the posting regarding changing the user name in the System Properties. My spouse is getting ready to publish pages to her website and would like to have her name appear rather than mine. DUH! When I built her computer I failed to look ahead. Front Page Express now puts up my name and production company as the author. Would like to change this without formatting and starting over. Thank you for any help.

From Cnet.com's tweak page:

Change Your Name
Did your PC come with Windows 98 preinstalled? Do people snicker that your Office documents are stamped with an author name like "Valued Gateway Customer," which brands you as a clueless newbie? This can be changed. Here's how:
Back up your Registry and launch RegEdit.

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, select Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion.

Double-click the RegisteredOrganization or RegisteredOwner options, and type in your real name (or an interesting pseudonym, if you prefer).

Exit and restart Windows.
