Change Registered User Information

    
If you are using a pc with Windows registered to another user you can change the system's registered user information, this contains, your name, company, and so on, to view this information go to the System Properties dialog box.  To change this information you need to edit the Registry, there's an easy way to change your identity. First back up your Registry files--User.dat and System.dat, hidden files on the root of your hard drive.  Open the Registry Editor by selecting Start, Run, typing regedit and clicking OK. Navigate your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\  Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion. In the right windows, right-click RegisteredOwner and select Modify. Type the correct information on the Value Data line of the Edit String dialog box, then click OK. Close the Registry Editor, and the new information will appear in the System Properties dialog box.
