Hey guys I know that to change Owner information in Windows XP i have to go to [Start] [Run] [Regedit]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: String Value // Value Name: RegisteredOrganization
Data Type: String Value // Value Name: RegisteredOwner
Setting for Value Data: [Modify the Values to Reflect Current Information]

How do I automate this process so that when I double click on ChangeOwner.reg for example it will do it for me?

Thanks.
 
This should work, without any scripting skills:
Open regedit, navigate to the key
Export the key as ChangeOwner.reg
Use notepad to edit the owner info
Save the edit ChangeOwner.reg
Double click ChangeOwner.reg to change the info in registry
