Is there a list somewhere of registry entries for owner's names? I am
using an OLD laptop ..
somewhere of all such things or a program to automate doing it? The
laptop is running Windows 98 First Edition.


Start/Run, type "regedit" in a box & hit Enter
from tab Registry go to Export registry file & save it to some place.
Than change/rename/add the *.reg extension to *.wri extension so that
WordPad can open it by double clicking it . There go to Edit/replace
from tab and write in names you wanna change & click replace. When
done save the file.
Rename back file extension to previous state & double click on it to
import the registry.Restart Win ... Done ! :-)
