Need to de-authorize / re-authorize computer

Question

After installing Digital Editions (DE) on a new computer, I apparently authorized it using the wrong account. Now, when I attempt to add an item that I bought with the right account, DE displays the following error message:

"Document is licensed for a different user account"

How do I de-authorize the wrong account and re-authorize the right account?

I'm using WinXP SP3 and DE 1.7. And I'm comfortable editing the Registry!

Ctrl-Shift-D (Cmd-Shift-D for Mac) will bring up the dialog to remove the authorization from the machine. Note this does not increase your activation allowance, and instead simply erases the activation information from the machine.
