Searching the Registry for it is a good idea. My name is in this
Registry key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
RegisteredOwner "My own real name"

But it is actually in SEVEN Registry keys. That one, two for WinZip, two
Network Associates/McAfee, one for Motive, & one for Microsoft Works.

To see yours...
(a) "START button, Run, Regedit".
"My Computer" should be highlighted in the left pane.
(b) Using the Edit menu, Find your name.
(c) If you so desire, R-Clk it in the right pane, & select "Modify".
(d) Proceed again from (b), until RegEdit says there are no more.

CAREFUL in the Registry, though. DON'T willy-nilly change anything you
see! Also, RegEdit's Find is SLOW-- be patient, or take...
http://www.pcmag.com/ 's Registry Detective, which incredibly will find
all matches to any search in 10 seconds & put them all to the screen for
examination. Take RegEdit+ as well!

Also, my name can be found in...
C:\WINDOWS\helpdesk\winrep\Userinfo.txt

To find more...
(a) "START button, Find, Files or Folders"
(b) Enter your name in the "Containing text" field"

There are utilities out there that will let you edit the registered
owner (how comprehensive they are in finding e. g. Office's variant, I
do not know). Obviously, they are just another bit of software to clog
up your system with, and presumably they just do the registry change
anyway. But you may like to try one or two. I'm pretty sure I've seen it
as one of the functions of a multi-tweak suite - isn't it one of the
things in TweakUI perhaps?

Ta for those tips.

Which is under the "Advanced" tab in some versions of Win+F (which is my
way of doing your (a)).

(And if you thought Regedit's find was slow, just wait until you _do_ do
a text find on all files as described above!)

I haven't used TweakUI because I've seen warnings against it. I'm sure,
if one heeds the several warnings, it's probably OK, though.

Win+F is nice. I guess those may be Win95 &/or WinME, which I've never
seen. Win98's Advanced tab has type & size boxes only.

Oops, yea, it will go through every file. That's right. Except one wants
to be thorough, one might try "*.txt, *.ini" in the Named box to get
just those file types. Omit the quotes , but include the comma.

THANK YOU! That worked.

Thank you everybody for suggestions. Although going just to the
registry and changing every location with the error looked good, it
did not work. It required that extra step Glen listed above.

Robert
