What is the registered user ID for? It appears to be hard to change, as well as
the product ID. I used Winhacker 2.0 to change it. Seems to be solely used
to register your PC when you buy it.
I had changed the registered user ID(as well as the C:\ drive). I would like to know if when you visit a site that has cookies, the server stores/logs your PC's registered user ID or if it's only stored on your PC?
However, in the cookies folder, all cookies are named my name@www.website.com.
Also, is it possible for the site's admin to know who visited by using the registered user ID even if it's changed to JohnDoe, or by using the IP address?
I guess the IP address cannot be changed no matter what, thus you will always be tracked.
