Ah, just type regedit into the startmenu then goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
There will be two keys named "RegisteredOwner" and "RegisteredOrganisation" Just Change either of these two keys to change that string

There's a much easier way to rename your owner folder. Go to your start menu and click on your control panel. Go to User Accounts and click "change account name". Type whatever name you want the folder to be and say OK. Then restart your computer. The Owner folder will seen as whatever name you have designated your computer to be.

Hello Sylthrene, and welcome to Vista Forums.
That would only change the user account name in the Start Menu and log on screen, but it will not change the C:\Users\(user-name) folder name. Unfortunately, the only way to change the C:\Users\(user-name) folder name, is to create a new administrator account with that name, and delete the old account afterwards.
