Mike M Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 When you install XP and it asks who its registered to and this name appears in the control panel system general info section and everytime you install software. Does anyone know how to change this and where to go into? I thought it was in the system 32 folder but cant see anything. All suggestions appreciated as i'm getting earache from the g/f who doesn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
