System Properties

Right clicking on My Computer brings up System Properties.

My computer is registered to..."user"...

Is it possible to change this to my name??

Thanks,

FLKulchar

To fix the "Registered to" information for WinNT/2K/XP, you can use
Start > Run > Regedit.exe to edit:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner

and:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\RegisteredOrganization
