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.

How to uninstall YM when error "could not open install.log file" is showing?
Problem 1: I can't uninstall yahoo messenger from my vista OS pc, I have the error "could not open install.log" everytime I uninstall it.
What I did was to copy the install.log of yahoo messenger from my other laptop with XP OS and placed it in my vista os pc on C:\ProgramFiles\Yahoo\messenger folder.
When I went to Programs and Features to uninstall YM, it worked.
Problem 2: Yahoo is not opening once installed
I really hate Vista!
I have to close all applications and remove all the trash from my browser like IE (delete temporary internet files, cache, cookies and histories), delete the Messenger folder from C:\ProgramFiles\Yahoo. Restart the computer, download YM again and reinstall it.

How to share a network printer without the printer's IP
If you want to share your printer to other computers in the network do this:
1. Install the printer into your computer first
2. Assign an IP address to the printer (this method is not explained here)
2. Connect the printer to the network with an ethernet cable (even if the printer don't have an IP Address that's fine (it will be explained here)
3. Share your printer by: going to control panel, printers and faxes, right click on the desired printer, Properties, Share tab, Share this printer, type a unique name for the printer
4. Make your computer available to the network too (have DHCP or static IP Address)
Now we're ready.

6. On the prompt window, Next
7. Select Local printer attached to this computer, Next
8. Create a new port
9. On the dropdown, select Local Port, Next
10. Enter a port name: "\\computer name\unique name of the printer"
