Hide User Name

[JHeaton]

Something that's bugging me at the moment with Office 2013. A few people have mentioned that they don't want their name to be displayed here (see attached file) when they're showing documents on the IWBs, but I can't seem to find any options to hide it or disable the feature. I had a search and found a registry change that removes the option to sign in, but so far nothing to actually hide the name (although you can delete the contents of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Identity\Identities\[email protected]_AD\FriendlyName and it will display a blank name in that spot). Does anyone know if it is possible to do this (and if so, how)? It's really starting to get on my nerves at the moment.

 

Cheers.

Could you not just do a group policy prefs registry hack to do exactly what you've described?
