This should have the answer you are looking for : http://bytes.com/forum/thread635503.html

For the CompanyName in AssemblyInfo, it's $registeredorganization$ which uses value from registry key value from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization.

Answer 2

For what it's worth I wrote up a set of instructions to do this here: http://blog.stuartthompson.net/2010/03/changing-visual-studio-registration-information/

I didn't find a full solution until I learned about the devenv /setup step and SplashInfo key.
