I have a question about Change
the Registered User Information:
Not a question, really. Just a comment. It didn't work for me!
I followed the instructions for Win 95/98/Me to the keystroke. Guess what? Nowhere
in my registry is there "RegisteredOrganization" or "RegisteredOwner" or "ProductID."
I searched for the name that my system is using and found about 10 instances of it.
I changed the name wherever I found it in the registry, but the old name still shows
up whenever a program needs it.
I guess that, in a nutshell, is about the most frustrating thing about home computing
for me. Whenever I'm knee-deep in an electronic minefield, the map in my hands cannot
be relied upon to be correct.
I'm sure glad my physician and surgeon don't have the same shoddy attitude towards
detail as the writers of software handbooks do! I nearly lose my mind with anger
when, after spending three days following the directions, I finally get to some snotty
kid in "technical support" who laughs when he says..."Oh, ya... the manual's wrong
there."
Doesn't ANYBODY in this business take responsibility for ANYTHING? The hardware isn't
guaranteed. The software isn't guaranteed. The information isn't guaranteed to be
correct. About the ONLY thing that's guaranteed is that whatever we buy, however
much we pay, we are guaranteed to get screwed sooner or later.
