When Windows 95 is being installed, it asks for the name and organization of the user. This information is then displayed in the About dialog of every application that comes with the Windows 95 operating system. If you purchased a computer with Windows pre-installed, this information might refer to the hardware vendor and not to you. This information can be changed by directly editing the Registry. Editing the Registry should be done only by experienced users and with extreme care and the Registry should always be exported or backed up before any changes are made.
1. Start the REGEDIT.EXE program.
2. For Windows 95, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
3. For Windows NT 4.0, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
4. Double click on the key RegisteredOwner and enter the new owner name
5. Double click on the key RegisteredOrganization and enter the new owner organization name
For Windows 95 only, you can also personalize the information displayed in the System applet of the Control Panel by modifying the OEM information.
