I've had a couple workstations infected with the Blaster worm today, so I'm not sure if this symptom is associated with it, but...

so far today 3 computers in the office have had the MS Office user names changed from e.g. "Jane S. Doe" to "F*ck**g Sh!thead" -- no joke. So if I was to open an Excel network file already opened by Jane S. Doe, I will get the message "file.xls is locked for editing by F*ck**ng Sh!thead".

Does someone know how I can change the name back to Jane S. Doe? Please help. Thanks!

All computers run Windows 2000 sp3 and have Office 2000. All have had the Blaster patch installed.
