Changing the Owner Of PC
Posted by admin on Nov 8th, 2006
When I bought my Pc the store set it up for me. They use the one name but I want it in another name. I have changed some thing but don’t know how to change all the name places in Vista.

Go to Start, type regedit, press enter and navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and in the right pane, rightclick RegisteredOwner and Modify the value. Create a system restore point before making the change, just in case you have finger problems.You can also change Registered Organization."Lori" wrote:

Hi, I just got my laptop Saturday had Best Buy set it up for too much $$$. Anyway, they spelled my name incorrectly. I was able to do this operation as you directed and I am now spelled ok as the administrator. However, I've noticed that my printer files still have the incorrect spelling. Looking through some of the stuff I see there is a whole bunch of files that still show the incorrect spelling. Is there some other "master" area that I can either change or delete it? Thanks."BurrWalnut" wrote:

No. You can change the name of your account in the display areas, but you cannot change the account name on the account's file structure. There are just too many references to these files/folders on the system. Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "dnichols618"

I tried this, but it didn't work. I was able to change the name that I see on start up and in most places where I see the user name, but when I open the taskbar, the user name is different. Why is it so hard to change in vista?Is there any other way to do it? My story is the same as the others replying to this post."BurrWalnut" wrote:

MoThe original question was "How do I change the registered owner"? To which I replied. You can change names in applications, e.g. Word, by going to the personal details, etc."Mo" wrote:
