Just for kicks, and because I have access to a wide variety of OSes, I decided to
try testing all of them to see where I could find the Registered Owner name. Here's
what I found...
Windows for Workgroups 3.11: Found (both in USER.EXE and SERIALNO.INI)
Windows 95 (OSR2): Found
Windows 98SE: Not found
Windows NT 4.0: Not found
Windows 2000 Pro: Not found
Windows XP Pro: Not found
I searched using both regular ASCII and Unicode, to make sure that I didn't miss
anything... so I think it's safe to say that by no means will you *definitely* find
it in USER.EXE, as you imply. They seem to have stopped doing it after Windows 95.
