Kelly - Change Registered Owner Name

[Ike]

Hello,

I like to change the Computer Registration name. The
window XPinstaller staff made a mistake. Wrong owner name
and wrong "Document and Settings Username".

I did downloaded the "Change Registerd Owner" tool from
the Kelly-Corner Website.However, It didn't do it. What
did I do wrong? Can you help me??

Thanks, Ike

Visit my website www.freelanceit.glowinternet.net Click the WinXP Faq button
and look at question 53. This tells you how to make the alteration by
editing the registry.

Greetings --

Changing a PC's RegisteredOwner or RegisteredOrganization in the
registry and as displayed on the Systems Properties window, which is
what Kelly's script does, will have absolutely no effect on the user
accounts or the associated user profiles.

The C:\Documents and Settings\Username folders _cannot_ be
renamed, even if the associated user account has been. So, your best
course of action would be to log on using the built-in Administrator
account, create a new user account, with the name spelt as desired,
for yourself, and then copy your data and settings from the
incorrectly spelt user profile. You can then delete the misspelt user
account.
