The registered owner and organization can be easily changed in Windows by changing two registry keys.

Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Click on the Start Button and type in Regedit in the search box and hit Enter.
  2. Navigate through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Microsoft, Windows NT and CurrentVersion.
  3. Modify RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization.
  4. Reboot to see your changes.

I wrote a program to change the registry entries so you don’t have to muck about in the registry. Works for Windows XP and VISTA. However with windows vista you must right click on the program and select ‘Run as Administrator’ or the program won’t have sufficient access to the registry.
