If the user who is running Office is not the same user who installed Office, Office prompts the user to confirm his or her Username and Initials when Office first starts. This case is most popular in a corporate environment, where an administrator installs Office for the user.
The value for the Username element shown to the user at first start time might be pre-populated with a default value from a previously installed version of Office or from the currently logged-on user. Note that the default value is not used unless it is confirmed by the user. If an earlier version of Office is installed on the computer, the registry key that was created by the earlier version of Office is used. For example, if the previous Office installation is Microsoft Office 2003, the registry key is provided at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo.
Example
<USERNAME Value="John Doe" />
