My recently purchased laptop has got Windows Xp
Professional installed. In the general tab of My Computer
shows it's registered to: 55274-OEM-0043644-74295. How to
change thsi numerical string to the computer name /
computer description or my own name?
 
Hi Bikash,
Click on Start>Run and enter REGEDIT and press enter. In the registry
editor, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

And on the right pane look for the key called RegisteredOwner. Double click
it and enter your desired name and click OK. Close the registry editor.
Changes should reflect immediately.
