Misspelled user name in Win 2K

[2ftrain576]

Is there a way to change the " Registered to. " name in System properties for Windows 2000?
I remember doiing it in Windows ME, but i can't recall the process.
I know it involved an edit to the registry.
i just can't see a re-install because of a misspelled name> Thanks

I replied to this earlier, but was then "cut" off, so, again:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windowsnt\cu rrentversion
The "KEY" will be Registered Owner.
Keep in mind that this is XP, but 2K is similar. You can always do a search within the reg for the current misspelled name and find the appropriate "key".

Quite right methinks Trip ;)

Windows 95, 98 and Me:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion]

Windows NT, 2000 and XP:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]

Modify the strings values of 'RegisteredOwner' and 'RegisteredOrganization' to equal the required owner and company names

Where I lifted it from (http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/32) (complete with an illustrated example of just which bits of that key to change)

& the usual 'disclaimer' applies ... messing with your registry may result in no boot, death & disfigurement etc ;) :D
