change computername

Hello,

does anyone have an idea how to automatically change the name of a win98 client??

This name appears in the registry...is it enough to change it there?

Thanks & Regards,
Chris

When you install Windows 9x, it asks for your name. From that
point on, the computer recognizes the entered name as the
official registered owner. Here's how to change it: Launch
regedit. Drill down to and click on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version.
In the right pane, find the Registered Owner entry and
double-click on it. In the Value Data box of the Edit String
dialog that pops up, change the name to whatever you wish and
click on the OK button. To change the company name, repeat the
procedure for the Registered Organization entry.
