When you open the “About Windows” dialog by running winver.exe, the owner name and the organization name fields may show the “user name” and “org name” placeholders instead of the actual user name and organization name.<\/p>\n

\"winver<\/p>\n

This happens if the “RegisteredOwner” and “RegisteredOrganization” registry values are missing.<\/p>\n

Resolution<\/h2>\n

To fix the issue, create the RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization registry values.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Launch regedit.exe<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Go to the following branch:\n
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Create a new string value (REG_SZ) named RegisteredOwner<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  4. Double-click RegisteredOwner<\/strong> and type in your name.<\/li>\n
  5. Create a new string value (REG_SZ) named RegisteredOrganization<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  6. Double-click RegisteredOrganization<\/strong> and type in the company name.
    \n(If you prefer not to display the company name, you can leave it empty.)<\/em>
    \n\"registeredowner<\/li>\n
  7. Exit the Registry Editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Additional Tip:<\/strong> To remove the “user name” and “org name” placeholders without showing the owner name and company name, set an empty data for ‘RegisteredOwner” and “RegisteredOrganization”.<\/em><\/div>\n
    Open the “About Windows” (winver.exe<\/code>) dialog now. It should show the owner’s name and the organization.<\/p>\n
    \"registeredowner<\/p>\n
    The above registry edit works in all versions of Windows, from Windows XP through Windows 11.<\/p>\n
