Change Registered Owner and Organization

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

  1. Click on the Windows Start Orb
  2. Type regedit.exe into the search box and hit Enter
  3. This will open up the Registry Editor, on the left hand pane navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion
  4. If you look in the right hand pane you will see RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner
  5. Double click on either the owner or organization key to change the value
  6. 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 >=]
