Put name on Windows
Did your PC come with Windows ’98 preinstalled or you just want your name on the computer .You can do it through this trick:

Back up your Registry and launch RegEdit(start>run>regedit).

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> select Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion.

Double-click the RegisteredOrganization or RegisteredOwner options, and type in your real name (or an interesting pseudonym, if you prefer).

Exit and restart Windows.

Have you ever discovered that there is no rename button in the recycle bins right click. But you can rename your recycle bin to any name you like. You can rename almost anything on the Windows desktop by right-clicking its icon and selecting the Rename option. To rename recycle bin go this way:

1. Open RegEdit (select Run in the Start menu and enter RegEdit in the text box).

2. Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and locate CLSID (the Class ID option). Scroll down to the { 645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key and click it. (or simply search for ‘recycle bin’ from the edit menu )

3. In the right-hand window, double-click (Default), and change the name from Recycle Bin to whatever you prefer.

4. Click OK and close RegEdit.

5. To make the new name take effect, click once anywhere on the desktop, then press the F5 key.

6. To disable this trick just change the value back to recycle bin and press F5.
