You can follow the below workaround to change the User and RegisteredOrganization

On a x86 bit (32 bit OS) Windows 32 Bit follow the below steps:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization


On a x64 bit (64 bit OS) Windows 64 Bit follow the below information:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

Changing the UserName will change the first line in the help about dialog.

Changing the RegisteredOrganization will change the second line in the help about dialog.

The registry change will fix the Help > About Information
