  • Re: How does a user change the computer's company name?

    Yeah, I should have thought of that 2 months ago... Anyways, here's what I've found: All the programs I've tested changed their licensed company name when I changed the Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization But I also found registries like this, that look specific to certain products

  • Answer To: I'm an admin, how come some programs say otherwise?

    This question has appeared a little bit in this category and has never really been answered as a whole, just bits and peices of the answer have been said on these fourms, so I'll just run through what I've experienced: 1. I'm an admin, how come it says I don't have access to something, or a program says that you must be in an admin account
