RE: user name prompt after office 2003 install



Thanks Bob! That is exactly the information I was hunting for. I also
noticed that when NOUSERNAME is not defined anywhere, and a user starts an
Office application for the first time (after logging in and creating a user
profile for the first time), it will prompt for the username.

I appreciate the link!
