RegisteredOwner
I began to look at here:
gREGVALOWNER = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion".
bUser = GetKeyValue (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, gREGVALOWNER, gREGOWNER, RegWindowsOwner)
and seek the name of RegisteredOwner (me)
but it seems here: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
and I get the Microsoft name

It is a Windows 7 forum, not a Windows XP forum. But since the same
answer works for both versions of Windows, it's here:If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned, the first thing I have with it would be to reinstall the operating system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.

Remove old settings of the computer user account
From: ericf10
I've changed the original administrator user account. However, there are always references to a command line, some files and the old username remote desktop. I've already changed the registered owner in the registry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner change.
What else should I do to get rid of this former user?
From: Brink
Hello Eric,
What you see is the reference in the 'C:\Users\user name' folder. While you can change the registered owner and the name of the user account, you cannot change the name of the folder 'C:\Users\user name'. The only way to do it is to create a new admin account and delete the one within another.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

How to change the "user name", as displayed in the Manager of tasks?
Hello, I was curious to know how I could change my username to computer in "Task Manager". I recently changed my account name, and unfortunately, it is no longer matches the name in the Task Manager. I tried several methods - including navigation via regedit (\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion) changing the value for "RegisteredOwner", which is the former name of the account, to correspond to the most recent change and restarted my computer, but not to prevail. Thank you in advance!
Hello
I suggest to create a new user profile brand with the name you want.
You can follow this link to copy the user data to the current user profile to the new user profile.

VMware View Linked Clone pool - SID change of virtual machines
Dear community
This morning I had the good idea to use instead of quickprep sysprep to change the SID for all virtual machines in the linked clone pools. Why? Because the customer didn't only VMs and use KMS to activate Office and Windows, therefore at least 50 different sid. Well, I created a file of OS customization invited for Windows (OS is Windows 7) in vCenter (which is connected to view admin) and I did:
Target Machine Virutal OS: Windows
Use custom Sysprep answer file: No.
Name: The name of the file
Owners name: xy
Owner organization: xy
Diabate
VM name: Use the virtual computer name
ProductKey: Leave blank
Admin password: play twice
ZimeZone: GMT + 1
Run once: no
Network: Typical with DHCP
Domain: Credentials client area incl.
Operating system options: create new SID
Finishing, went to view Admin has created a new and Cust comments. to Syprep (Filename). Blended at the pool and it worked very well until the generalization starts... it stucks at regional settings, when I restart the same. When I klick net he asks me for a computer name and a password.
Well:
(1) why is this block here? Yes there are still stuck because I was not able to specify a locale, or if it is not needed? Why he can pop up?
(2) why he asks me for a computername? I told her to use an existing one.
(3) why he asks me a password? I told her what to use.
Well I toigh ok Let's use an answwer sysprep file that I've included a second cost of comments. file (withi the guest also reset SID). Well it works greate except the designation: I said in the answer file to use the variable % computername %, which is certainly the name of the master, so VDI does not change this name...
(1) the sysprep answer file the rightway anyway?
(2) how do I get the new name out of sight for the VM for example VM001 instead of Master001

If I check the comments cust. file without sysprep answer file I see there function which can crreate names for VMS as vim.virtualmachinenamegenerator (or something like that) is it possible to use sysprep as well? Well at the end, I just want to change the SID of the virtual machines each time they recompose is to have enough unique SID in the network! How do I need to do?
Best regards
Duke is your main reason for the use of sysprep to work around the problem of SIDS?
We only use VDI on site for 700 + users and clients windows 7 and Office 2010 is activated through KMS.and we use quickprep because his headache free and easy.
I use the following to help with the problem of SIDS:
Manually to increase the number of KMS. Think Digital the application is clean.
Its very well explained in the link above.
