I just cloned 20 PCs. I want to edit the person's name, and the software registration key in the System Properties Windows.
Can I do it from the registry? If so how?
I don't want to reclone the computers. I will appreciate at the I get.

I am persuming that by User name you are refering to Machine name in Regedit go to follwing key and make changes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\ and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName

For regestraion Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE|Microsoft\Windows|NT\Currentversion\
