Question
When I installed Microsoft Outlook XP, I misspelled my name as the owner. Now it shows up as the owner name in the Task Window, and it’s spelled wrong for every new task create. Is there a Registry place that I could change to correct this?
Answer
The task owner shows up in a variety of places, most commonly in the Owner column when you list taks By Person Responsible. The name shown there is the same as the name of the corresponding e-mail account, so you’ll definitely want to correct the spelling. Select Tools | E-mail Accounts from the menu, choose the option View or Change existing Email accounts, and click Next. If there are mulitple accounts, choose the one you normally use and then click the Change button.
Correct the spelling in Your Name box, click the Next button, and click the Finish button. This won’t fix the tasks that already have misspelled name, but all new tasks will show the correct spelling.
