Hello

How can I change the Owner XP Pro is registered to? (I am looking at system
in Control Panel).

Thank you.
 
Reg hack

Search for the name of the now registered user and change it to whatever.

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, some read it only
during installation, and some don't read it al all.

Run regedit
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion]
Click on "RegisteredOwner" in the right pane
Change the data to the new owner.
