Real names

When I registered my copy of XP, it gave me the choice to put in my real name, which I did and accidentally spelled wrong (Joe Patrtick instead of Joe Patrick). My username is patricjr and Im the administrator (if that helps). Now, whenever I press Ctrl alt Del or lock the Pc it shows the wrong name. Is there a way to rectify this?
Thanks
Joe

-Right click on My computer / Computer Name / Change,, that's where you can change your computer name.
-To change your logging name, you can create a new user or change the original one through Control Panel /User Account .

- To change the Registered user name that shows up in device property / General TAB, do this:
Go to Start / Run / Type regedit / press enter / go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Installer/ and search for your name there and when you found it change it to what ever you want.


cheers
