Bubakhon...
Thanks very much for accepting my efforts on your behalf as
an answer, even though the answer was that you can't manage
to accomplish what you want in a simple way. I'll repost the
information here for the sake of future readers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Most programs, when installed, place their generated files into
subdirectories of the main game directory, which is usually in
C:\Program Files\Name of the Game\
Once the game is installed, just r-click that directory, and
select 'Search' or 'Find', depending on your system. Enter
the text for the name you're trying to find in the 'Containing
text' box, and *.* in the 'Search for files and folders named'
box.
This will search inside of every file in every subdirectory
of the game, and give you the names of the files. You can
then open those with hex editor or a free program like
Resource Hacker, and make the changes you need.
If you don't find the name in any of the files, it's also
possible that there's a registry entry made by the program
in which the name is contained.
---
I'm not familiar with Tuneup Utilities, but if the entry you
changed had no effect where you hoped it would, you're probably
better off changing it back to the original.
You can search the registry without the utility by hitting the
Start button -> Run -> type in regedit and hit Enter.
Then go to Edit -> Find, and type in the word(s) you're looking
for.
Doing that *may* find additional entries that you can experiment
with. But, as usrhlp2 has noted in a comment, if you didn't find
it contained within a file or in a registry entry that makes a
difference you can see, it's probably encoded in compiled code.
Once again, you can try Resource Hacker, which allows you to
open any executable files (exe, dll, etc) for a program, and
search for the term you hope to find and change, but since you
were unable to locate the specific file that contains the word
via a search in Windows Explorer, this would mean the grunt work
of searching through every executable, with no guarantee of
finding it.

Unfortunately, there is no way for an average user to
reverse engineer the code and make the kind of change
you're trying to make, short of the simple methods I've
suggested, which have failed for you. This would be a
difficult task even if you had the source code for the
software.
You could possibly find a software engineer who could
reverse engineer the code, but this would be illegal
and expensive, and neither is possible on this site.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Given that researchers earn 75% of the question price, I
hope you at least feel you've received a reasonable amount
of education for that amount of money.
