[python-win32] Setting UserInitials in Office

[Mike Driscoll]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to set the UserInitials and Username in Microsoft 
Office applications. The reason is that we have had some users who have 
managed to put their initials into some Office programs when a different 
user was logged in and this has made it difficult to tell who has what 
open. From what I've read so far, the information is encoded in the 
Registry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo

I tried to use the base64 module to decode it, but I must be doing 
something wrong. Does anyone know of a good way to get and set this 
information? I am dealing with users on Windows XP and Python 2.4

Thanks,

- Mike
