Change Registered information in Windows

RegisteredIf you are interested in changing what name/manufacturer your version of Windows is registered under, you can do this with a very simple registry change. This applies to all Windows versions although I cannot verify if it is the same on Win7 as I do not have a Win7 box yet. :)

To change the registered information follow the below steps:

  1. Open Regedit
  2. Navigate to the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
  3. Find the keys "Registered Owner" and "Registered Organization"
  4. Change the values to anything you like.

To access the system information where this information appears:
On Win XP - Hold the "Windows Key" and hit Pause/Break (Handy Hotkey)
On Vista - Click Start, and type WinVer in the search bar and hit enter.
