Default Changing computer registration

I would like to change the registered user on my company
laptop. If I am in the "system properties" dialog box,
it will say "Registered to" followed by a name. I don't
see any immediate way of changing this. How do I edit
this without having to do a reinstall?

Adjust the Registry settings at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner

Open regedit and modify the contents of the value RegisteredOwner at the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.
