i don't care just want my company name here again I am using TweakNow PowerPack 2003 for this things...Too easy but I am not sure about the registy key...

Do one thing...Click on Start -> Run -> type REGEDIT and click ok.

Do a search in registy on TUE and see if you can find the it...Or else I am not sure how to do it with registry...

Cheers...

Depends on which program...but yeah it'll be in the registry most likely.

Unless someone was tricky enough to hack some DLLs.

My point is that you can.

DLL or the binary.

Ah, how funny.

I once had a tweak application, but everytime I changed a setting through it, it made the Windows gradient on the Start menu just a big black box.

So I deleted it. Maybe I'll check out that link. :)

Are you sure it didn't just remove some items from the menu so that it wasn't tall enough to display the picture?

Windows does get rid of the gradient when you only have a few things showing.

That was probably it. Maybe I got rid of Help or something.

the path for Windows NT, 2000, XP is


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion


The path for Windows 9x and ME is


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

This might help:
To change the Default Name and Company Information
Open your registry and find the key
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
MS Setup (ACME)\User Info]
Value Name: DefName, DefCompany
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

Modify the two values named 'DefName' and 'DefCompany', and change the values to your current Name and Company respectively.
