changing registered windows user
 
When I set up my new laptop, I inadvertently put in my actual name in the microsoft registration window. Usually I just put in a random name. Is there a way to change this now without doing a complete reinstall?

This is about as sketchy as questions get in CTH....

Let's hope they don't catch you and make your programs start executing illegal operations...

What's sketchy about anonymity?

Is the name your computer is registered not viewable by other parties when you utilize websites? If I log onto an unsecure wifi network, can't some of my files(like the ones named xxxxx's cookies/settings/etc, possibly be seen by someone?

I'm only asking because I prefer to have as little out there associated with my name as possible for security reasons. Is this a non-issue?

Yes, it is a non-issue. The registration name is stored in one location in the registry and thats it.
