changing registered owner in registry

I'm selling my pc and I went into the registry and changed the registered owners name but it does not show up anywhere in my pc. It still just shows my name. I'm using Windows XP.

    In selling your pc, I would do a complete wipe of the hard drive, reinstall windows, and put his name in it instead of yours, which will make sure all your programs, and codes are off for ever.
