Changing my "owner name"

Would anyone know how to change the owner name of my
computer?

Every document I create or have created credit "Valued
Gateway Client". I have changed the newest ones as I
write them now- but they eventually default to "VCF".

Thanks!

You can change in manually in Regedit or follow the procedure below:

Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Change "whatever" to the name you want
Change "Private" to your organization
(keep the quotes)
Doubleclick to merge it in the Registry.

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion]
"RegisteredOwner"="whatever"
"RegisteredOrganization"="Private"

---- end file above here

Hi Martha,

Alan is correct. If you are uncomfortable with the process
you can go to http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ download
and run the following script.
Change Registered Owner and/or Organization.

What don't you follow?
If my method is too difficult, then try the link Bert supplied.
Both will change your registered name and I assume this is what you
want. If not....

Try the Office group and mention your version of Word or Office.

In MS Word go to Tools - Options - User Information Tab.
