how to get my name listed

[patti]

I somehow didn't list my name on setup of windows xp, and
now on the "system properties" window, general screen,
where it says "registered to..." it is blank. How can I
get my name listed there???

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu
rrentVersionModify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as
detailed below.

Go to Start, Run, type REGEDIT, go to the menu item Edit,
then to Find and type registeredowner When it is
found, double-click on the RegisteredOwner key, type your
name and hit OK. Then close the Registry . . .

Good Luck !

I did that but it didn't change. I noticed that the first line in the edit section says default and it is blank.

Hi Patti,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

In the right pane, double click RegisteredOwner and change the Value data.

Or you can use this automated script:
