I can't see that it is possible to get any such list, as there are
thousands (if not millions) of programs that may be affected.
You may get most by a search in Regedit for the old owners name but
some (like certain versions of Office, not sure of old versions like
O97) that may need uninstalling/reinstalling.

Is there a list somewhere of registry entries for owner's names? I am
using an OLD laptop to run Microsoft Word 97 in night school until
they can fix the scheduling screw-up and put us in a lab. This laptop
was given to me over 5 years ago by my mother's cousin when she
upgraded. I changed the registry entry for the system information page
you get to by right-slicking on "my computer", but just noticed last
night I never changed the registration for Office. I'm going to search
the registry for all entries of her name, but is there a list
somewhere of all such things or a program to automate doing it? The
laptop is running Windows 98 First Edition.
