Windows 7 user/owner vs author
Is there a way to permanently change the default 'author"?? I often post files to the web and dont really want my personal name there.
In hindsight, I should have created profiles for Dad, Mom, RJ, etc, and never used 'conveninent' family member names for user profiles like (for example) : Ralph, Sally, Robby, Admin, Guest ... as those later name show up as authors, and are visibile under document properties or meta data - a concern when files are posted to the web.
I tried some workarounds but they are not that great, eg
- some apps allow you to hide personal meta data, but one does not always remember to use it!
- some apps dont let you hide meta data, or worse, unhide them - eg - apps like CutePDF bring them right back when creating a PDF file.
- some apps strip meta data ( but again you need to remember to use them); snd some only work on images.
Ideally, I'd like to be able for permanent change author, and forget about it.
I don't dare change all occurances of Ralph to Dad, as I assume that will mess-up the user profiles.
Any suggestions?
Can I create an new profile, called Dad, and essentially make it a close of what I currently have for Ralph?
I see many references to a WinEnabler app - ... all positive...but these seem to be older posts... also read "Windows Enabler is broken by some security change on Windows 7 SP1.
