Hi all.

I am using a text box in windows form to enter the name and when the button is clicked it has to change the computer name to the name in the text box.

To changing Computer Name I hope you must change the registry value. In vb script may be it done internally to change registry. I have no idea on that field.So may be Ia am wrong. I hope you must solve the problem. :-) Thank you!

Thank you very much for the reply Tanmay. I actually fixed the problem but in a different way. I wrote a VBScript file extension .vbs and called it using C# (Process class). I am using XP Embedded. I shall try out changing the registry value also.

Hello try to change Registry Value. I am sure it will work. But in windows 7 the connection on specific target of registry is denied. I am also asking a question in this forum that Registry value can't change in windows 7 where it well work in XP but still no on reply. on that post i give a ans as we can get the value (but not editing) The Registry location is in Local Machine: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion after a little search on that path you will find the valu that you want. Please mark it as ans if it help you. Thank you!
