VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Ever bought a used PC or had someone give you one, but it still showed them as the owner?
To change owners, open the registry editor & navigate to the following entry:

Click START
Type CMD
Click OK
Type REGEDIT
Click OK

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Right-Click on REGISTERED OWNER & select MODIFY

You can then remove the registered name & enter your own.
