How to change the "Registered To" field in windows

During first time setup of a new computer, you typed a name on the field "Registered to". Unfortunately, you wanted to rename it. We are not talking about the username of the user account because this is different (you can check the entry by right clicking on My Computer, then go to Properties. Look for the item Registered To). For this case, we need to edit the registry.
1. Go to Start -> Run -> type regedit
2. On the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. SOFTWARE
4. Microsoft
5. Windows NT
On the right side, double click on the RegisteredOwner, and so you can type whatever name you wanted. After renaming your entity, you can restart the computer and finally check your progress.

Active Desktop Recovery

You can see a white background on your desktop screen that says "Restore Active Desktop", instead of your usual desktop screen picture. What to do?

1. Go to Start >> Run
2. Type regedit then Enter
3. Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Safemode\Components
4. Double Click DeskHtmlversion REG_DWORD 0x00000110(272)
5. Change the value to 0.
6. Log-off and on.

It did remove the active desktop recovery error for the meantime. I found out that after I restarted the computer, the previous value of step #4 went back to its original numbers! So I don't recommend this step. I just created a link just so in case I need it for bogus troubleshooting steps.

How to Uninstall Norton 7,8,9,10 but you need to type the password?

I had this client that when I'm uninstalling the Norton software from the pc, it is asking me to type the password that I don't know. Checking the net, (thanks to you...) this password is usually from a network drive / server (if the computer is part of an organization in an office setting). Getting into the registry will definitely uninstall the Norton after changing the value of "UseVPUninstallPassword" from 1 to zero. Here is the step:
1. Go to Start, Run, type regedit
2. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Next on SOFTWARE
4. Go to INTEL
5. Then on LANDesk
6. Followed by VirusProtect6
7. Click on CurrentVersion8. Then on AdministratorOnly
9. Highlight Security then on the right side look for the item UseVPUninstallPassword.
10. Double click then change the value from 1 to 0.
11. Apply then restart the computer.
12. Go back to Add/remove programs, then uninstall Norton. It won't ask for passwords anymore.
My problem was I didn't notice that below UseVPUninstallPassword, there is similar in text that reads like VPUinstallPassword. That's what I changed the value of 0 from a very long number, though it didn't affect the uninstallation of Norton after figuring out I made a mistake!

How to disable checkdisk during startup on Vista OS

CHKDSK is short for check disk. On Windows operating systems, it is used for checking bad sectors or faults on the hard drive. My question is: is it necessary every time I restart my computer? No. This is what I did on one of my client's computer after seeing the chkdsk every time I restart the pc, to my annoyance:

1. Go to Pearl button, type regedit then press the Enter key.
2. Click the arrow before HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Do the same for SYSTEM
4. Then on CurrentControlSet
5. Next on Control
6. Highlight on Session Manager
7. Double click on the name BootExecutive on the right pane
8. Add /k.C before * so it will look like autocheck autochk /k.C*
9. Click OK, then restart your computer
