Guys, I'm new (obviously), but how do I rename "default's published music/photos" on Publisher?

It takes that from the name of your computer. How you rename the computer depends on the version of Windows so you might need to take a look at the help system for Windows.

Thanks TiVo Bill, but I already have my computer name on there, I need to know how to change the bottom section of Publisher. Right above where it lists your music/photo files.

Got it. It takes that from your Windows username (the one you use to log in). You might be able to change it in the Windows User control panel (not sure if it actually will let you rename it).

Excellent! So very trivial, but so Very annoying to have it read "Default's Published Music"

Thanks again!

Just and FYI...be very cautious when changing the username under WinXP. You can do it, but all your preferences will remain under the old name (under "Documents and Settings" on your hard drive) and in some cases of sharing the old name will also still be used. You have to hack your registry to get the old name completely removed.

Be warned :)
