My brother has given my son an IBM ThinkPad as a going to college/HS
gradutation gift. I am cleaning the system before I present it to him. Is there a way, aside from reloading ME to change to whom this is registered? Which is now my son. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Mark Celmer Saint Joseph, Michigan |

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 ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.setup, "Celmer" wrote: My brother has given my son an IBM ThinkPad as a going to college/HS gradutation gift.
