Andy4life Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 You may notice that when you come to install applications the default username is "Windows User", or when you right click and go to properties on My Computer, the Registered name is "Windows User"... you can change this by: 1. Start --> Run ---> "Regedit" or (Windows Key + R) 2. Browse to the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ then look for "RegisteredOwner" in the right panel and double click on it... change "Windows User" to your name or whatever you like.... Just thought i'd post that up incase anyone was getting the same frustration i was getting lol.... i'm not so sure i like the idea of being indetified as a Microsoft asset rather then my name. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy1 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I don't see why you'd get frustrated. It's only a beta OS, you'll be running it for a few months at the most. Oh well, I guess little things can bother some people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy1 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I understand what you're saying, but this OS and everything on it is going to be wiped clean in just a few short months. Most likely, Beta 2 will actually have the feature to put in your name and company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't feel the need for it to be changed then thats your personal preference you don't have to hate on everyone else that doesnt share the same feelings as u. It might annoy some people, and for those that it does annoy... i wrote this for. For those that it doesnt annoy, don't let this put your world on pause... keep moving...
