42854 2002-04-09 11:08:00 Does anyone know if it's possible to modify the registry of Win98 to change the registered user name - it's not as dodgy as it sounds. I've got a machine that I would like to sell with the Win98 CD, but don't want to reinstall it just to get my name off the machine. Any way this can be changed without a reinstall?

Thanks in advance

42855 2002-04-10 00:11:00 just get into the registry, do a search for all instances of the name you want changed and put something else in its place :-) Guest (0)

registeredowner and then change the name there.
