Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion with Vista Home 64. It is 5 weeks old. Last week, the seagate hd crashed. I took it back to Best Buy (warranty) and they put in a new drive. I told them NOT to install the OS, that I would, but they did anyway. When they did, they defined the default user profile as Owner. I want to change that. Several of the Word templates I use use that data in their autofill fields. I've only had the computer back 2 days and it is already driving me nuts (I use this computer for business and use those templates alot). I spent 1 1/2 on a chat with HP support tonight. They finally had me edit the registry entries for Registered Owner and put my name in that data field (it did say Owner before we edited it). I rebooted and guess what, the default user profile still says Owner, so I must need to edit some other place in the registry. I doubled checked and Word autofill still says Owner as well. Help.
