    Red face Change Win98 register name?

    A customer brought in her friend's PC. I ended up having to reformat it and reinstalling Windows.
    The woman who filled out the paperwork misspelled the computer owner's last name (Fischer instead of Fisher) and I used the paperwork.

    All the programs and device drivers have been reinstalled.

    What's the easiest way for me to change the name to the proper spelling?

    start=>run
    regedit
    edit=>find
    (the misspelled word (last name only))
    should come up to a field that says registered owner - change that

    The easiest way is with a little program I emailed you called ReBrand. Place it on a floppy and run it from the a: drive.
