' Windows Scripting Host Script to correct the
' registered owner and company name in the Registry

Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ChangeOne "RegisteredOwner", "Owner"
ChangeOne "RegisteredOrganization", "Company"

Sub ChangeOne (valName, dispName)
' Read the old value from the Registry
oldValue = WSHShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\" +_
"Windows\CurrentVersion\" + valName)
' Prompt the user to input a new value
newValue = InputBox("Old Value " + Chr(34) + oldValue + _
Chr(34), "Change Registered "+dispName, oldValue)
' Was any change requested?
If (newValue <> "") AND (newValue <> oldValue) Then
' If so, make the change...
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\" +_
"CurrentVersion\"+valName, newValue
' ... and report the change
WSHShell.Popup "Registered " + dispName + " changed " +_
"from " + Chr(34) + oldValue + Chr(34) + " to " +_
Chr(34) + newValue + Chr(34)
Else
' If not, report that no change was made
WSHShell.Popup "No change to registered " + dispName
End If
End Sub

1 -- /Start / Run / REGEDIT.EXE
2 -- / File / Export a backup copy of the Registry
as it is before you change anything
3 -- / Edit / Find to search for the unwanted name
with Keys and Values checked.
4. Each instance found can be highlighted a
right click then gives you the edit menu, where
you type in the name you want.

On exit this Registry is saved automatically.
