How can I change the registered to name?

[JSW]

I have recently installed xp and for some reason did not put my full name in
when setting it up, how can I now rectify this?

Cheers JOHN

Modify this key in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner

If you mean changing your logon name only, go to control panel and Users and
click to change the name. If you mean the registered owner, load Regedit and
go to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]

and change the value in "RegisteredOwner" to whatever you want, exit regedit
and reboot.
