Thanks but not the network name. I mean the name the computer is registered to. As in the name on the "general" tab in system properties.

I think you have to edit the registry to do that. You can run a search for the name and change the entries. Be sure to make a backup of any changes you make though... just in case.

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/registry_hacks.htm Change Registered to: The purpose of this registry hack is to change the Registered to: as seen in the system icon First Objective to get to the CurrentVersion registry hive. Method Drill down to: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner Alternative Method: Use the Find (menu) in regedit, but be prepared to use F3 if you do not get to the RegisteredOwner at first. Second Objective change RegisteredOwner Double Click RegisteredOwner then change the value to what you want. Re-open the System Icon and check your new value Registry learning point * If you can see a value on a menu, you can use regedit to FIND it and change the value |

It is interesting to note that there is no "RegisteredOwner" listed under Current Version. I found and entry using Find. When I changed the entry to what I wanted and rebooted it came back as the original! |

Registered Organization and Registered Owner will appear in the right panel of registry editor if you just click on Current Version.

thanks RED! I'll check that out.
Here's what I did that worked. I collapsed all the Keys, THEN did a search using "find". Changed the value and then rebooted. The change stayed and everything is just ducky. Thanks to all who helped out!! |
