Changing the registered name

I really want to excuse me if I'm repeating but is there any way to change/rename the registered name of the computer? It's called 'm' now - my provider's firm have called it.
In Windows '98 with 'regedit' I did change it. How can I do it in WinXP?
(I'm sorry for my english - it's not very well, I hope you did understand me :])

That's 'Computer Name'. I meant the registered name created with the XP installation. Take a look at the
enclosed in red.
I think I have to rummage the registry, but where exactly is this option?
Well - in the last reckoning it is not so important, as though.

Doug Knox has a way. Go to this site and choose "Win Xp Fixes" in the left panel. You will find "Change Registered Owner and Organization" in the left column.
