Registered to?

[Dean Southgate]

Windows home came pre-installed on my machine, I have re-installed a few
times because of problems but can't get my name in the registered to field
on the system properties.
I know this does not affect anything locally (on my machine) but, anyway how
can I put my name where it should be?

Thanks
Dean

Start - Run - Regedit.exe

Open the left pane (explorer style) to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\

and in the right pane double click Registered Owner, and change as
desired. (Also Registered Organisation).
