# Fix Dexis security dialog requesting name or initials

## Problem
When opening Dexis through DNS, a security dialog appears with a red exclamation mark asking "Please enter your name or initials:" with OK and Cancel buttons. This prevents normal access to the Dexis application.

## Resolution
1. Navigate to `C:\dexis\` directory
2. Create a backup copy of `DExis.ini` before making changes
3. Open `DExis.ini` in a text editor
4. Add the line `house=153` to the file
5. Save the file
6. Reopen Dexis

The security dialog should no longer appear and Dexis should launch normally.
