Navigate you way to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" Double click on the Value Names: "RegisteredOwner" & "RegisteredOrganization" & change the value data to whatever you want. Reboot. |

| 157292 | 2003-07-05 03:59:00 | Just a thought ... Would this count as a "change" in the XP registration/activation/MS_stuff_the_customers_ivation system? Don't MS want successive owners to each pay them money? I'd be surprised if they didn't. ;-) (in my adventures with regedit I always use the Edit/Search menu item. I don't like "navigating Microsoft's user-hostile tree structure. :D ) S_B has given you the names ... you'll find it easy to search for "Registered". |
