Changing who "This product is licensed to:"

I installed Windows XP Pro and for even a reason unknown to myself, I typed I just typed in "Company" for the company. Well, I got it changed for Windows XP Pro itself to stop showing that, but I realized that now Office XP and all the programs that are part of Office now show that it is registered to myself and "Company." I was wondering if there was a specific place to change this in the registry editor. I looked thorough the local machine under microsoft->office but found no place where I could delete it from. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Yes I have tried that but was unable to find the key they were refering to. I looked at all the keys that were available and nothing had those values.

If I understand you right, you want to start MS Word, go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > USER INFORMATION. I believe if you change it in Word, it changes it in all of the other MS Office programs.


Let me know if that works, I know it has something to do with Word, but I can't remember exactly.

User Information only allows me to change my name and initials.

Don't worry about it aym 7, we all do that at one time or another.

Strange thing, I go to use MS Word today and it fixed itself? After a couple of months of trying to figure this out, it just fixed itself. But I do appreciate everyones help.
