Yes, you can go into the registry and change the owner name. You should back up the registry before making any changes鈥攈ere's how...



Go to Start/Run and type in ';regedit'; without the quotes (Win 2000 type ';regedt32';)



With Windows XP (and probably Win 2000) navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft / Windows NT/CurrentVersion



Click the ';CurrentVersion'; folder and look for the ';RegisteredOwner'; key. Double click and change the value to your name. You can also change the ';RegisteredOrganization'; if you want to.



When finished go to File/Exit.



With Windows 98 (not sure about ME but you can try this path) find your way to:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/鈥?br>


Click the ';CurrentUser'; key and change it to your name.



When finished go to File/Exit.



To verify your changes, right click My Computer and choose ';Properties';. Under ';Registered to'; it should show the new name and organization.



Now the computer is really yours!
