Whenever a copy of Microsoft Windows is registered on a computer, it prompts the registering user to enter the owner's name and the name of the organization with which the owner is affiliated. If your computer changes owners or you want to change the name entered into Windows, you can edit the key that stores the name in your computer's registry.
Step 1
Click your computer's 'Start' button, type 'regedit' in the Search field and press 'Enter' to open the Registry Editor.
Step 2
Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion' by expanding the appropriate folders on the left side of the Registry Editor window.
Step 3
Right-click the 'RegisteredOwner' key and click 'Modify.'
Type the new name in the Value Data field and click 'OK.'

Is there a way to connect between the values under HKEY_USERS to the actual username?
I saw some similar questions, but most (if not all) talks about C# code, and my need is in VBScript.

If you look at either of the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlhivelist
You can find a list of the SIDs there with various values, including where their 'home paths' which includes their usernames.
I'm not sure how dependable this is and I wouldn't recommend messing about with this unless you're really sure what you're doing.

It is possible to query this information from WMI. The following command will output a table with a row for every user along with the SID for each user.
You can also export this information to CSV:
I have used this on Vista and 7. For more information see WMIC - Take Command-line Control over WMI.

- Open Reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList
- make a loop to get all subkeys
- the subkeys you are interested with are those started with [S-1-5-21-] which means user (see key name [ProfileImagePath] they are always started with a path c:Users)
- Those starting with [S-1-5-21-12] are all local users
- Those starting with [S-1-5-21-13] are all network users [if joined to Domained network] that are previously logged on the machine.

You can use the command PSGetSid from Microsoft's SysInternals team.
Download URL: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb897417.aspx
Usage:
Example:
NB:
- Where the user is a domain/AD(LDAP) user, running this on any computer on the domain should give the same results.
- Where the user is local to the machine the command should either be run on that machine, or you should specify the computer via the optional parameter.
Update
If you use PowerShell, the following may be useful for resolving any AD users listed:
You could also refine the SID filter further to only pull back those SIDs which will resolve to an AD account if you wished; more on the SID structure here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc962011.aspx

Done it, by a bit of creative programming,
- Enum the Keys in HKEY_USERS for those funny number keys...
- Enum the keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList
and you will find the same numbers.... Now in those keys look at the String value:ProfileImagePath = 'SomeValue' where the values are either:
'%systemroot%system32configsystemprofile'... not interested in this one... as its not adirectory path...
%SystemDrive%Documents and SettingsLocalService - 'Local Services'%SystemDrive%Documents and SettingsNetworkService 'NETWORK SERVICE'
or
%SystemDrive%Documents and SettingsUSER_NAME, which translates directly to the 'USERNAME' values in most un-tampered systems, ie. where the user has not changed the their user name after a few weeks or altered the paths explicitly...
