Hi,
Fire up REGEDIT (make sure you have a backup if in any doubt as to usig regedit)
Then drill down to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
Modify the strings values of 'RegisteredOwner' and 'RegisteredOrganization' to equal the required owner and company names.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Peter Johnstone.

If you have any problems about using Regedit or you are unfamiliar with it e-mail me the details that you want to enter and I?ll send you a simple file to ?double click? on which will do it for you.
