How do I correct spelling in Company Name?

October 28, 2008

Dyslexia strikes again!

Soemwhere during installation of MS Office 2000 on my Win98SE, I

misspelled my company name by inverting two letters. Went unoticed

for eons.

Now, after noticing this error and upon creating a file, I have to

manually go to the new .xls, .doc, and ?? file, click on 'Properties'

and correct the spelling. Sometimes forget.

I don't want to reinstall anything, because everything is set up just

the way I want it [except for spelling]. Is there some simple way to

change the spelling that appears under 'company name'?

Search the registry for the missspelled company name and

edit it there. Back up the registry before attempting this.

Searching the Registry for it is a good idea. My name is in this

Registry key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

RegisteredOwner "My own real name"

But it is actually in SEVEN Registry keys. That one, two for WinZip, two

Network Associates/McAfee, one for Motive, & one for Microsoft Works.

To see yours...

(a) "START button, Run, Regedit".

"My Computer" should be highlighted in the left pane.

(b) Using the Edit menu, Find your name.

(d) Proceed again from (b), until RegEdit says there are no more.

CAREFUL in the Registry, though. DON'T willy-nilly change anything you

see! Also, RegEdit's Find is SLOW-- be patient, or take...

http://www.pcmag.com/ 's Registry Detective, which incredibly will find

all matches to any search in 10 seconds & put them all to the screen for

examination. Take RegEdit+ as well!

Also, my name can be found in...

C:\WINDOWS\helpdesk\winrep\Userinfo.txt

To find more...

(a) "START button, Find, Files or Folders"

(b) Enter your name in the "Containing text" field"

There are utilities out there that will let you edit the registered

owner (how comprehensive they are in finding e. g. Office's variant, I

do not know). Obviously, they are just another bit of software to clog

up your system with, and presumably they just do the registry change

anyway. But you may like to try one or two. I'm pretty sure I've seen it

as one of the functions of a multi-tweak suite - isn't it one of the

things in TweakUI perhaps?

Which is under the "Advanced" tab in some versions of Win+F (which is my

way of doing your (a)).

(And if you thought Regedit's find was slow, just wait until you _do_ do

a text find on all files as described above!)

Win+F is nice. I guess those may be Win95 &/or WinME, which I've never

Oops, yea, it will go through every file. That's right. Except one wants

just those file types. Omit the quotes , but include the comma.

THANK YOU! That worked.

Thank you everybody for suggestions. Although going just to the

registry and changing every location with the error looked good, it

did not work. It required that extra step Glen listed above.

Re: How do I correct spelling in Company Name?

Another program which I use regularly is RegSeeker, which also can check for

query strings in files....

A multi-purpose application,,, however not for inexperienced use as its

functions CAN cause issues when misused.

And an OLD registry seeker/changer was Coa32 from PCMag....

http://www.pcmag.com/ 's COA2 will help with this. After you move a file

including Registry or other zipped backups, Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, or

anything. And, there was a reference in Autoexec.bat that I needed to

Maybe I'll take a look. At 260,096 bytes, it is about 1/3 the size of

OK. That's right. That Neil J. Rubenking is/was a good one.
