' Windows Scripting Host Script to correct the

' registered owner and company name in the Registry

 

Dim WSHShell

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

 

ChangeOne "RegisteredOwner", "Owner"

ChangeOne "RegisteredOrganization", "Company"

 

Sub ChangeOne (valName, dispName)

' Read the old value from the Registry

oldValue = WSHShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\" +_

"Windows\CurrentVersion\" + valName)

' Prompt the user to input a new value

newValue = InputBox("Old Value " + Chr(34) + oldValue + _

Chr(34), "Change Registered "+dispName, oldValue)

' Was any change requested?

If (newValue <> "") AND (newValue <> oldValue) Then

' If so, make the change...

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\" +_

"CurrentVersion\"+valName, newValue

' ... and report the change

WSHShell.Popup "Registered " + dispName + " changed " +_

"from " + Chr(34) + oldValue + Chr(34) + " to " +_

Chr(34) + newValue + Chr(34)

Else

' If not, report that no change was made

WSHShell.Popup "No change to registered " + dispName

End If

End Sub

1 -- /Start / Run / REGEDIT.EXE

2 -- / File / Export a backup copy of the Registry

as it is before you change anything

3 -- / Edit / Find to search for the unwanted name

with Keys and Values checked.

4. Each instance found can be highlighted; a

right click then gives you the edit menu, where

you type in the name you want.

 

On exit this Registry is saved automatically.
