How do i change the names that are registered in my Microsoft Outlook?

My PC is secondhand and I'm currently doing an online course which requires me to use the Microsoft Outlook but when i open it, it has the previous owners names registered on there, making it impossible to use in ';my'; course work. As i don't know these people, is there a way of deleting their details and adding mine? Or do i need some sort of code? Please help. Thanks.How do i change the names that are registered in my Microsoft Outlook?
First, the registered name is what you or your dealer entered when the computer was first set up. It appears all over, but primarily in the System Properties dialog box:

Press Win+Break to see this dialog box, or right-click the My Computer icon and choose Properties. In the General tab you'll find your name and possibly an ';organization'; name as well.

Second, here's how to change that information:

1. Choose the Run command from the Start menu. Or press Win+R.

2. Type REGEDIT into the box.

3. Click OK to run the Registry Editor.

4. Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry.

5. Open Software.

6. Open Microsoft.

7a. For Windows 98/ME, open Windows.

7b. For Windows XP/NT, open Windows NT.

8. Click to select the Current Version entry.

In the list on the right side of the screen you'll find the

Registered Organization and Registered Owner items. They may be blank.

9. Double-click to open the Registered Owner item. A box appears where you can edit, delete or replace the current owner name. Click OK to make the change.

10. Repeat, if necessary, step 9 for the Registered Organization item.

Click OK to make the change.

11. Close the Registry Editor window.

12. Restart Windows.

13. Open Outlook-%26gt;Tools-%26gt;Accounts-%26gt; there may be a strange account name there so remove it. If your name is there leave it. To remove the strange name but keep the account open, click the name-%26gt;Properties, leave the address and type your name in as account holder. Close all panels and restart PC. Don't forget to vote. Or email me for more info.How do i change the names that are registered in my Microsoft Outlook?
I presume you are using Outlook Express, in case you don't it should be similar to this.



When you open the program go to Tools. In Outlook Express on tools bar there is Accounts... go there and you should have the listing of all the accounts. What you want to do is open a new one (if you want you can remove the old ones). With new account in Outlook you will have your name appear when you send e-mails.



But to do this you have to know server used by your ISP. These are usually provided in the booklet you get when you open a new account. If you didn't get it try going on ISPs website to find the proper settings. If there aren't any on the website then contact them by phone :P



ISPs usually use pop3 and smtp servers for emailing, but you still have to know the addresses of those servers.
