Change company information in Visual Studio 2008 on Vista computer

[DotNetUser]

I am using Windows Vista. I am currently working on Visual Studio 2008. I would like to know if I can change the personal information on Visual Studio 2008? Actually it is taking the default name as my computer name and the company name is as given on my computer. I don't want to reinstall Visual Studio once again. So is it possible to change the company name and all that without reinstalling it again?

Well what you want is quiet new thing to me and I have never heard of this until now. So my solution is just a wild guess. It may or may not work in your situation. The only solution to this, I suppose, is Registry tweak:

Go to Start, click on Run, type regedit and press Enter. Now go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

Here you will find the CompanyName in AssemblyInfo. Just change the name with whatever you want.

I agree with the Fabian results. In fact if you are having 64 bits of Windows Vista then the registry key location slightly changes. For Windows Vista 64 bits users, it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization.

I know it might not help in this case but may be helpful to some of the other 64 bits users who all are waiting or fiddling over Internet for some solutions.
