Hey.
I got a little problem regarding the computer name and the 'company' its registered to.
When you install windows ( xp in my case), its asks for you name and the company. For this i typed 'XP USER', for both.

What i want to do now is change the 'XP USER' to my name and 'Workstation 1' as the company.

I would prefer a registery tweak however third party apps i am happy to install to change it.

Thanks in advance people!

Try here:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"RegisteredOrganization"="My Name"
"RegisteredOwner"="My Company"

lol i installed this windows a month or two back as a test but ended up keeping it installed as it is. Since i wanted to keep this install i wanted to edit the details without reinstalling.

When people ask me to reinstall Windows for them, I sigh and look really depressed. Once they're out the door, I pop out my Unattended CD.

Once its finished I open the registry and change those values for that person. Voila! Then I charge him 20 bucks! AHAHAHAH!
