Once you've installed Windows, you can change the Registered Owner, Registered Organization, or Product ID to anything you want.
Here's how you do it:
Windows 95/98/Me
- Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
- Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion.
- To change the values of the RegisteredOrganization, RegisteredOwner, or ProductId, simply double-click on them.
- Note: This will only change the registered user information for Windows, not for the applications on your system.
Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista
- Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
- Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion.
- To change the values of the RegisteredOrganization, RegisteredOwner, or ProductId, simply double-click on them.
- Note: This will only change the registered user information for Windows, not for the applications on your system.
