I bought a laptop off of e-bay with Win XP installed on it.
the previous owner, of course, had it set up with his
name, and now every time I install new software...it
automatically registers then under his name...how can I
update/change that default?

thx

WINDOWS\regedit.exe to open Registry Editor. Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion

Change Registered Organization and Registered Owner to suit.
