When I’ve started new Visual Studio projects on my Vista x64 box, the Company field would always show up as “Microsoft”… somewhat presumptuous and definitely annoying. At first I thought the problem was with the templates, but upon inspection they had the correct template parameters, $registeredorganization$. A quick look in my registry and those keys looked right; then it dawned on me. Visual Studio runs as a 32 bit process, not 64, so it effectively looks in :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
And that’s the solution. In there RegisteredOrganization was set to “Microsoft”. Changing that to your organization’s name solves the template issue.
