RESOLUTION

To add user information, use one of the following methods:

Method 1

Install a product that adds user information during the Setup process. For example, install Microsoft Office 97.

Method 2

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

Use Registry Editor to create new string values named RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner in the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
				

After you create these string values, set the value data for the new string values to your name and organization. The organization data is optional.

For additional information, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info

   String Value DefName
				

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
