Changing: Registered To: in windows XP???

[paul814]

Is there a way I can change the Registered to: in windows XP...you
know when right clicking on my computer and selecting properties.

The setup asked me for a username and I put that in but I would want
the Registered To: to say something differant and not that user name.

thanks

To fix the "Registered to" information for WinNT/2K/XP,
you can use Start > Run > Regedit.exe to edit:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner

and:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\RegisteredOrganization
