3. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi鈥?NT\CurrentVersion

4. To change the company name, do the following:

In the right pane, double-click RegisteredOrganization. Under Value data, type the name that you want, and then click OK.

5. To change the name of the registered owner, do the following:

In the right pane, double-click RegisteredOwner. Under Value data, type the name that you want, and then click OK.

Same method for both XP and Vista.
