    When you click start, click on the picture next to your current name. Then a window should pop up about changing your account picture but click the Home button near the top and then it will bring you to a page where you can change your account details.

    shows you how on the link below, seriously. I'd explain but its a lot of typing, I guess i could copy and paste though duh

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion

    Look in the right-hand pane for the String RegisteredOwner

    Note down what it says.

    Right-click and click Modify

    Type in what you want.

    It should take effect immediately.
