After initial install of XP, can you chose a different
System Name ? I wanted that name to be a user name and
the system won't allow that... Bad choice, I guess..
 
Right-click on My Computer, go to Properties, go to
Computer Name, bottom item, click on Change, change the
name, hit OK, reboot if commanded to . . . Done-ski ;-)

Good Luck !
 
Hi,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

In the right pane, double click RegisteredOwner and change the Value data.

Or you can use this automated script:
