| 111422 | 2003-01-06 09:57:00 | Thats held in the Registry. I just grabbed this from the net. Start/Run/ type Regedit in the dialogue box Browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion To change the company name: In the right pane, double-click RegisteredOrganization. Under "Value data", type the name that you want, and then click OK. To change the name of the registered owner, do the following: In the right pane, double-click RegisteredOwner. Under "Value data", type the name that you want, and then click OK/Exit. |
