change registered user name on xp

[crapyking]

when you r click on my computer/properties you see registered to xxx. How can you change that name-no it's not the same as changing the user name in user accts. Already tried that. A registry thing?

In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, the registry user name is stored in the REG_SZ value RegisteredOwner. You can also find Registered Organization in this same key.

or instead of mucking round in the registry you can download this
xteq systems x-setup it has an option to change the manufacturer and you can put your picture there even too
thisi s a nifty lillte utility... imho no windows power user should be without it
