As soon as I can figure out how to get my name off the computer, ...
Hey Notes,
if you right click "My Computer" and select "Properties" to get the exact text from the "Registered to" section you could do a search of the registry for that text (I'd probably just search for what should be a fairly unique section of the name)
Start|Run|Regedit <Enter>
then
Edit|Find (fill in the dialogue) <Enter>
then <F3> till you find something meaningful - edit/delete the key's contents and keep searching - it may appear more than once.
Can't guarantee it'll work and make sure you have "system restore" turned on in case you screw up the registry (so you can go back).
Once you're happy it's OK turn "System Restore" off and then back on again. This will delete any old stored registry data that may contain your name.
Can't guarantee it'll work - I never put my name against any m$ registration so I have nothing to test against (hey, I buy a book do I have to tell the author I did? m$ can go to hell with their registrations)
--=-- My credo: If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - just ask my missus, she'll tell ya  --=--You're only paranoid if you're wrong!

I think Notes is talking about his name in a Macintosh, Lawrie.

I use an old pc running Windows XP as an effects device. I am using the built in sound card with the following software: VSTHost ASIO4ALLI connect it to my mixer via one of the effects busses. (effect out to line in on the pc) Mute the line in on the pc to prevent feedback loop.

robsmusic,
You may want to start a new thread for this. I am very interested to hear how you use your old PC as an FX unit. I have a 10-year-old XP PC that I am about to take out of service. It would be great if I could get some more use out of it.

And as long as I stick to Craigslist, there isn't a fee to pay and no shipping to worry about. Of course the audience is smaller.
I think I'll go higher and then if they don't sell, reduce them.
Got nothing to lose.

OK I put the eMac on Craigslist, and reduced it every week until it got to be $25.00 at which point I donated it to Goodwill Industries. No problem, the guy at Goodwill says they go to a computer expert for refurbishing and then resold. So at least it will find a good home. That's all I really wanted. On the other hand, I keep getting these e-mail messages "answering" my mail: They start like this, include a couple of pictures of attractive, scantily clad girls, and include a link that I am careful not to accidentally click on: - Hello there! How are things? Im a real young lady looking for a simple man because I miss having a companion.
 Im always working fulltime so I don't know where to encounter guys anymore so thought I would give this a shot. I hope youre an adult and real because I would feel idiotic chatting with a little boy lol. well I don't work for a week so do you want to hang out? I would feel more secure if we could carry on this talk on my profile page tho is that ok? Emailing is boring. Ill buzz you on there - I added secure pictures and my phone # for you so hurry up. Youll see that Im real after logging in. You won't be dissappointed babe!
- Hi! How are you? Im a real girl looking for a fun man because I miss having= a company. Im always working hard so I don't know where to hook up with.<...snip...>
- Hey there! How's it going? Im a real hottie looking for a simple man.<...snip...>
- I'm keen of you and your ad. I need to speak more and was curious if you co= uld call/text me with where you live? <...snip...>
- Im fascinated about you and your ad. I want to learn more and was wondering= if you could call/text me with your location? Please grab my cell phone # <...snip...>
- Is your product still for sale? Sigh I don't know where to encounter guys anymore so thought I would give this a shot. <...snip...>
- Hiya, this may very well be random but you might seem incredibly hot in your <...snip...>
- Hiya, is your thing still available? I don't normally do this but you sounded attractive in your listing and I'm drawn to you. I live close by and up for anything <...snip...>
- We are close to one another so why not meet for cold drinks in near future? <...snip...>
- I'm mesmerized about you and your ad. I need to speak more and was curious = if you could call/text me with your address? <...snip...>
And so on. There are 30 of these in my trash folder since the last time I dumped it. Probably dumped about 20 more earlier. They aren't the end of the world, but they are a minor PITA., Besides: - I'm happily married to a hottie and am usually with her 24/7, (much to my delight)
- I'm a one woman guy
- I'm not stupid enough to click on the link
- I'm not stupid enough to text him/her my address so he/she/they can burglarize my home
The ad has been removed for a week now, and still they come, two or three per day. Always from different addresses at gmx.us or gmx.com I did create a filter to direct them to the junk folder, but I have to check the junk folder for false positives before nuking it so they just add to the clutter I have to sift through. So my next question is... DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM STOP!!!I thought about putting my two Atari computers on Craigslist, but I think I'll give them to someone who will take them apart for the gold and other recyclables. That's sad. I've checked eBay and they aren't selling, and even if I gave them away out-of-town the shipping would cost more than the computers are worth. I've run ads in the musician's section of Craigslist before and never got this kind of spam. But first time in the computer section and look what happens. I guess the spammers know musicians can "get lucky" and figure computer nerds have more difficulty at that delightful aspect of life.  Insights, incites and frustrations by Notes

well, it is too late for this now but Word To The Wise...when using a site like Craigslist I always get a new email address that I use for this and nothing else. That way I can simply delete the email address when I'm done or redirect to a junk folder and delete the mail without concerns about other legit emails being in there.

Well, since we're such seductive hunks, I guess we are just going to have to break the hearts of all those pretty, under-dressed (actually slightly under-exposed) girls. Please forgive me girls, I hate to break your hearts, but I'm already taken. E-mail George Clooney instead.

I hate to be the "I told you so" but you fixated on only the tax deduction part... So I won't do that. Just be glad that CriminalsList didn't bring around the baddies who use it to case your house for future robbery visits. And enjoy all your new Nigerian email friends.  --Mac

So far the sweet, sexy things haven't e-mailed me today. I'm heartbroken. Perhaps they're angry because I forwarded the e-mails to spam@uce.gov and reported them to SpamCop. Probably not, it's never done much good in the past. Perhaps they found out I'm way to old for them. Probably not, they are more than likely just sleeping late. Notes

A favor for a future favor. You're the best Mac!
But don't whack the Nigerian guy, he's gonna give me a million big ones! All I gotta do is give him a big deposit (my entire savings account) to prove that I'm serious.
