Hi Bikash,
Click on Start>Run and enter REGEDIT and press enter. In the registry
editor, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
And on the right pane look for the key called RegisteredOwner. Double click
it and enter your desired name and click OK. Close the registry editor.
Changes should reflect immediately.
