Open up the registry editor to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Change the RegisteredOwner key by double clicking on it.

Found this:

Go>start\run and type in regedit and click ok. Now
navigate to the end of this route by pressing the + sign
beside the entries in the followin
order.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion and then click CurrentVersion to open
the entries in the right panel. Now right click on
registered owner and click modify and enter what you want.
The same goes for the registered organization and so on.

edit: Guess I need to type faster!
