Windows 2000 - Change the entries in the system properties

November 26, 2013
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

Wenn Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf den Arbeitsplatz klicken und Eigenschaften wählen erscheinen grundlegende Informationen zu ihrem Rechner: Prozessor, Arbeitsspeicher, Betriebssystem sowie Firma und Benutzername. Die letzten beiden lassen sich aber nach ihren eigenen Wünschen anpassen, falls Sie beispielsweise ihren Rechner verkaufen oder verschenken. Um diese Daten zu ändern, müssen Sie folgendermaßen vorgehen:

1. Click Start/Run one after the other and type regedit in the command line that appears. The editor for editing the Windows registry will appear.

2. Hangeln Sie sich durch die Pfade HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion und betrachten Sie im rechten Teilfenster die Einträge RegisteredOrganization und RegisteredOwner.

3. If you now double-click on these entries, you will be given the opportunity to change your name and company. Further up under ProductName you will be given the option to change the operating system name. The system properties could now look like this.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
