    Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion

    In the right pane, double-click RegisteredOwner. Under Value data, type the name that you want, and then click OK. Click Exit on the File menu to quit regedit. Be careful when messing around with the registry. You can do a lot of damage. Good Luck.
