laptop and a wrench

Bug

ArcMap File Document Properties dialog: Modify ArcMap behavior so that the Author field is no longer automatically populated with the user's Windows login name. This is considered a security loophole because this user name is therefore available when the MXD is distributed, accessed by others, shared or published as a map service. This also applies to ArcGlobe and ArcScene.
