The store that put the PC togeter entered N. Chenier as the registered to
field which prevents me from activating the Windows XP without having to call
Microsoft.
How do you change the Registered To field?
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
How this will affect the name displayed in previously installed
applications will vary depending upon each individual program; some
read the registered owner information dynamically, while others read
it only during installation.
However, I don't see how this information could have any possible
affect upon either Activation or Registration. Which are you trying to
do, and exactly what error message(s) do you get?
