Hello all, I don't really know if this is where to ask this, as I usually read and use Windows apps only, but I'll take the plunge. I just put together a computer father, nothin fancy (286-12), but not using Windows on this beast, we picked up a used copy of Microsoft Word v 5.5 (price was right). The only problem, was the original owner installed from original disks without making a backup, and his name is plastered on the opening screen. I looked at the disks dirs, and found on disk 1 "Word55.inf" which might hold this info, and also on disk 3 "setup.ini" which has a different date (more recent), like maybe when it was originally installed. Might anyone have any idea of how to change these files to change the owners name? I know such files exist for 123, and older versions of Word, but have not seen anything on boards for recent versions. I suppose there is always the possibility of getting a new replacement disk from Micro- soft through disk replacement(showing transfer of course). Thanks Chris Reid
