Want to get my name on machine as OWNER !

[Jim Christensen]

recently got a new machine with XP media Center software. somewhere along
the line the machine was started and no name was entered. when i powered it
up it went right to windows and was ready to cook, except for all the other
junk that always starts up trying to get you on MSN etc.
I don't want to do a Full destructive reinstall just to get at this screen.
where in the Register is it kept ?. Or is there a dialog box i can access to
put my name in.
thanks

jim C

Great !! Downloaded and ran. it took care of it. thanks so much for your
help. A lot of places tell you how to go to the register and "Find" the
information and change it. however if it was never entered there is nothing
to " Change".
It would have taken a new Key and that scared me given the luck I have had
lately ;-)
thanks again
