Change Registered User Name

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

My 'computer guy' installed WinXP Professional SP2 on my newly-constructed
computer last week. I was disappointed to note that he registered the
end-user license agreement under my nickname, rather than my given name,
which I would have preferred. Is there any way at this point to change the
'registered to' name to my correct name. Thanks for any help that can be
offered. Sanford
