How do you change the computer name and entry document folder name. I am aware of regedit registered owner but this has not changed the machine name or the entry document folder which is created on a new machine or reformatted drive. has anyone found a solution for this issue?

   Changing the computer name is simple.  Go to the Computer Name tab of the System Properties dialog and click on the Change button.  There are more instructions on Microsoft's website at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295017

   Changing the document folder name was discussed before on this board and I think that the conclusion was that it cannot be changed.
