| | Thanks for that. Just before I try it out, will it definitely work in Win 7 64? Its just because its tagged as "tweaks" and "xp", so want to be sure in case it changes anything its not supposed to. Thanks! |

| | Doesn't seem to work. I run the bat file as Admin, then cmd prompt appears with "Please enter your desired PC name:" I type name, press enter, cmd closes. Restart the pc, go into control panel>system, and computer name is still the same... |

| | Why you want to change the computer name using a batch file? Any particular reason? Batch files are mostly useful for applying to multiple systems. To change for one system, the easiest way would be to go to Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Computer Name tab - Click on Change button and rename the computer name to a new name click OK and reboot the system. This is a pretty straight forward method. |
