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 ! :-)

Registration for Office Microsoft Word 97
You don't have to registry or entries for owner's names to make it Work.
The owner may registry or my not.
Microsoft Office Software's owner's don't have it......
you the User ---- user it
or Buy the Software and come a Owner!

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.
