I recently bought a new computer, an HP, but something weird is happening. Every time I install some software that has a “Company” field, it automatically fills it with “Hewlett-Packard”. While the computer is HP, that doesn't mean I work for HP. Is there a way I can change this to a company I really work for?

In Windows XP and newer you can change this text within the registry. Start regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. Look for the entry RegisteredOrganization and change that to your liking.

Steven's comment points to the exact same answer, this is a duplicate. – user1016274 – 2015-07-07T17:08:28.457
Is the downvote because it's a duplicate? – Arturo Torres Sánchez – 2015-07-07T17:08:45.753
1@ArturoTorresSánchez - That is a safe assumption. – Ramhound – 2015-07-07T17:09:23.263
@Ramhound, but unfair, in my opinion. – Arturo Torres Sánchez – 2015-07-07T17:09:50.387
I don't see how that justification would be unfair.The question already exists, one expectation we have here at Superuser, is before asking a question some basic research is done. By doing some level of research, you can verify that, an existing question does not already exist already and thus avoid a situation like this. I searched for this topic in a Google search, the first result, was this question.
