Expand to: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion With CurrentVersion selected in the left pane, scroll in the right pane to RegisteredOwner under the column header Name. Double click on RegisteredOwner to open the Edit String window. Type a new name in the Value Data text input box. Click Ok and close out of regedit. Always backup the registry or any key before making any changes so that you may import the keys back in should anything go wrong. Haphazardly removing keys in the registry is very dangerous and can render your system useless. Be 100% sure of what you are doing and what you remove can be safely done. You can Backup the registry key/s while in regedit: Click on Registry on the menu bar while in the registry, click on “Export Registry File.”. Choose a location, I recommend saving it to the desktop and it makes it easy to find. Place a check next to “Selected Branch” and give the file a memorable name, select save, make your changes and close out. If you have no problems after say 2 weeks, you can delete the exported files. If you have problems, double click the reg file on the desktop to import/merge it back into the registry. Do Not back up the entire registry in the registry editor. Importing it back while in windows can be harmful to the machine. A registry backup is created each new calendar day a machine is booted. If you wish to perform a new backup of the registry after the machine has been booted, got to Start > Run, type in: scanregw and hit enter. You will be prompted that a registry has already been backed up for the day and do you wish to create a new one, click yes. -- Brian A.
