Set Word User Information Via Group Policy "benb" <benblackmore[ at ]nospam.postalias> 19.09.2006 09:03:44 Hi, We have a number of workstation that have been build from a standard build. This means that the user information in Word (Tools > Options > User Information) is all set to the same generic name & initials. Is there a way I can use group policy to set the username to something like %username% so it picks up the logged on users details? I have loaded the office adm templates in to our group policy but there is not option for 'User Information', I have edited adm files before and added different policy settings, but it doesn't look like word looks under "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word" for this information. From what I can see this information is stored in binary under "Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo". Can I add this information to the policy successfully? Many thanks Ben

Try to implement it as Reg_Expand_SZ and see what happens ...
