Friends:

I am installing Windows 95b OEM on newly refurbished IBM 750 P-90 Desktops.
Since all are identically configured, I would like to speed up the process
(we have 100+ of them). The problem is that we have a separate, licensed
copy of Windows 95 for each machine (not a site license).

I would like to save a GHOST image of one Win95b installation from one
computer. However, I will need to change the license number and, less
importantly, the User Name on each clone. I want to use a legitimate and
fool-proof method. College student volunteers will be performing the work,
so I don't want to teach them how to hack SYSTEM.DAT (unless it's the only
way).

What is the best method of changing the Win95b license number after
restoring a Ghosted image?

Alternatively, is there a better method of accomplishing the task?

Thanks, in advance.
