How do I correct spelling in Company Name?

Another program which I use regularly is RegSeeker, which also can check for
query strings in files....
A multi-purpose application,,, however not for inexperienced use as its
functions CAN cause issues when misused.

And an OLD registry seeker/changer was Coa32 from PCMag....

I've downloaded but never tried that one, due to Registry Detective is
so good.

COA2? I wrote a review of that once. It only does "addresses", but does
it extraordinarily well...!...

http://www.pcmag.com/ 's COA2 will help with this. After you move a file
or folder, you may use COA2 to change system references to the new
address. It will change references in the current Registry and all
..ini's & shortcuts on all drives. Nothing else, however, is changed,
including Registry or other zipped backups, Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, or
anything. And, there was a reference in Autoexec.bat that I needed to
change (for a CD-R/W drive letter). It also will not change references
that are binary, but those are generally in MRU lists & will auto-adjust
in time.
