When you use explorer or even solid edge it allows you to change the org. author and replace it with yours.  Any embeded info I can get out of the part file?

RE: Find real author of solid edge file

If you open the SE file and open the file properties, the Statistics tab will tell you the logon name of the user who last saved the file.  This is as good as it gets.
