Change Owner v1.0
Tue, 04/24/2007 - 08:28 — Ciprian
These days we managed to develop another small tool for Windows Vista users. As you can tell from its name, this tool allows you to change the registered owner and organization for your Windows Vista installation. You don't have to edit any registry keys. Just download our tool, run it, type the desired owner and organization name and press the Change button.
When you start it, Change Owner automatically loads the current registered owner and organization. To modify them just type the new values and press the Change button.
Just like CSRF v1.0, Change Owner v1.0 is distributed using a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 License.
This tool is offered "as is" with no warranties. Change Owner v1.0 was designed and tested on Windows Vista and on our systems it worked with no problems. Also, it should work on systems with Windows XP and .NET Framework 2.0 installed. If you discover any bugs please feel free to report them to us.

Thanks a million! I to had the same problem as jb5quid and also spent hours on this. Even going thru the registry! Will it change C:\user\blahblah on reboot? I have been trying to change this too. Also trying to map it to another hard drive? I moved all the folders but C:\user\blahblah keeps making new ones?
Unfortunately it won't
Unfortunately it won't change the C:\users\username folder. That will remain the way it was. All you can do is to move the My Documents, My Music, My Pictures and Downloads folders to other locations.
