I've got a good one for ya! I use MS Outlook Express 6.0. When I print out any e-mail that I have received by default my name is printed out at the start. However, my name is spelled wrong. I have looked in the "Identities", "Users", etc., but they are spelled correctly! Another weird thing is that when I use MS Outlook (vs. Express) my name is spelled correctly when printing out an e-mail.

Any thoughts on how to get my name to spell correctly?

Thanks for any help,

Try searching the Windows registry for the misspelled form of your name.

I did what you suggested and loaded regedit. I did find one entry that was
not spelled correctly. I changed it and rebooted. But, it still does not spell correctly when I print an e-mail! Any other suggestions?!

Thanks,
Steve

In Outlook Express go to TOOLS>ACCOUNTS>MAIL
Select your account and click on the properties button.
Now check to see that your name is spelled correctly in the User Information on that screen.

Thanks everyone!

Should be: Steven Mack
Is: Steven Mac

Here is what I have done:

1) Opened up Tools>Accounts>Mail. There I found Account, which has my e-mail address (mail.acs-online.net). I clicked "Properties" and looked at "User Name". It IS spelled correctly there.

2) I ran Start>Run>Regedit and did a "Search" and F3 for next. I did find one misspelling and corrected it.

3) I have re-installed Outlook Express and rebooted.

4) I have talked to my ISP provider (he is a good friend of mine!) and we checked all of his settings.

After doing all of this, my name is still printing out wrong!

Any more thoughts?
