That's the way it's been done in Windows going back many years. I've been using my name with the city I live in as the organization, I think since about Windows 98 or maybe even before. Never used quote marks, though.l

The quotes came along for the ride when I exported the reg entry.
I just posted to show others where to look.

I add it to my install media.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]
"Model"="K75DE"
"Logo"="C:\\windows\\ASUS\\ASUSLOGO.bmp"
"Manufacturer"="ASUSTeK Computer Inc."
"SupportURL"="http://www.asus.com"

The oobe.cmd file runs the oeminformation.reg file

@echo off
start /w regedit /s %systemroot%\setup\scripts\OEMInformation.reg
del /F /Q %systemroot%\setup\scripts\OEMInformation.reg

:Cleanup
del /F /Q %systemroot%\setup\scripts\oobe.cmd

Ya'll need to download, using the link Shawn has provided for the ISO's in the tutorials, and you can get the Windows Ten Forums versiion with your Member handle
***Of course this is one of the perks for the Gold members***

All my PC's and VM's have this, regardless of Build #
Attachment 92893

Or just make changes in

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows N\CurrentVersion]
"RegisteredOrganization"="Windows Ten Forums"
"RegisteredOwner"="Cliff S"

I added those two lines to my reg file and re ran it. It didn't change anything? licensed to shows my Microsoft ID e-mail.

That wasn't meant to be a reg file.
I do it manually inside of RegEdit. just delete what's at those to keys and type what ever you want

RegisteredOrganization=Microsoft MVP
RegisteredOwner=alphanumeric

...still does not answer why it happens though.. one should not have to change those settings via a hack.

On my desktop & laptop(both th2) it had my user name Cliff S, but in my rs1 Insider VM, winver kept showing my MSA email, so I did a search on how to change it, and, I believe it was How to Geek, that showed the reg entry.

Hmmm so MSA on Insider, clean 1607 with local should then be ok?

It was my bad, I added it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation, it should have been Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. I'll try it again in a bit.

Hi,



No and it really bears no relevance to anything really.
I guess it's just a leftover from the old days where you had to punch in keys, your name & organization etc.


Cheers,

Yah, I know it's irrelevant, But humour me ... wanna figure why the user name change occurs
