Change Registered Owner and Organization

Posted on September 23, 2007 by Captain Johnny Bowen | Vista Hacks

Here’s a quick and simple hack to change the registered owner and organization name in Windows Vista.

Click on the Windows Start Orb
Type regedit.exe into the search box and hit Enter
This will open up the Registry Editor, on the left hand pane navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
If you look in the right hand pane you will see RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner
Double click on either the owner or organization key to change the value
If you want to see the changes, go back to the start menu search box and type in winver.exe

BTW, after writing this I have just realized that this could be used as a prank >=]
