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.

Changing Name in Vista
Hi to all. Thanks for such a simple way to change the name in the registry. Your blood is worth bottling. Brian
chowner program
This is not working, I use cygwin and I would like to change the
ownership of many files.
The command I am trying to do is CHOWN, but with Vista
it is impossible to work with a unix like environnement because
all the executable files are blocked, Vista is a real bad thing.
How is your program is supposed to work anyway ? I could not change anything
with it, not a directory not a file, nothing.

Change ownership of files
You got it wrong. This program does not help you take ownership of your files. It just changes the registered owner and organization for your Windows Vista installation.
To change ownership of your files read this:
