Owner Name Change - HOW?

[PeterGriffin]

You know when you install WinXP and it asks you for your "Name, Organization, and something else", well I want to change what I entered but I've already completed the intire install, including apps.

How can I go back and change the "Owner information"?

I already deleted the initial user it created, and made a new one. But the original "owners" name pops up everytime I try to install a new app. WTF?


Thanks

Well for the name of the account, your name changed and the folder didn't.
As for changing that stuff, I think it can be done in the registry, or use tweak xp pro to change it, you can try the demo of it and do it.

Run REGEDIT.EXE

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion.

Double-click "RegisteredOrganization" or "RegisteredOwner and type in teh new one.

I tested this solution in my lab and it does work.
