System Properties Info

[Guest]

Under the System Properties Info, and below Registered to: My name is not there, how can i get it there. Not sure if its because i don't have a broadband connection or not, also in the dos screan, it doesn't have my name after documents and settings, it just has owner.

Any suggests?

Thanks

Nothing to do with broadband! This is typical for OEM systems.

Depends.....

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:

Change Registered Owner and Organization (Line 7)

Change Computer Name (Line 109)

There are many other things you can modify on OEM systems.

As for Documents and Settings, you will need to create another profile.

Greetings --

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.

The C:\Documents and Settings\Username folders _cannot_ be
renamed, even if the associated user account has been. So, your best
course of action would be to log on using the built-in Administrator
account, create a new user account, with the username desired. You
can then delete the old user account(s).
