How to rename windows xp

[mitsukai]

i want to give my xp installation a diffrent name, especially because of multiboot. i could change the name in boot.ini but since its nlited i would rather have Windows CJ instead of Windows XP

[neo]

Open TXTSETUP.SIF in notepad (In I386 folder)

Search for string "Windows XP Professional" and change.

thank you man thats quite easy.. dont understand why its not an option in nlite

[mitsukai]

wrong.. still says windows xp

[Legolash2o]

try start > run > regedit

HKey local machine>software>microsoft>windows NT>CurrentVersion

Change ProductName, then reboot

[mitsukai]

well it appears to be right, but the rest at setup and this computer shows all windows xp

[Legolash2o]

what does it say when you right click on my computer > proerties. You dont want to change everything to Windows CJ as some software might not recognize it and probably wont install.

well ok nvm than... i just wanted my XP to be called Windows CJ geuss its not possible unless i do some registery tweaks.

and it says windows xp

[Strings]
wks_id   = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
wks_id_vga = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional [VGA mode]"
cancel_id = "Cancel Windows XP Setup"
9x_id = "Microsoft Windows"

make changes in this section in TXTSETUP.SIF

[Strings]
wks_id   = "Microsoft Windows CJ"
wks_id_vga = "Microsoft Windows CJ"
cancel_id = "Cancel Windows CJ Setup"
9x_id = "Microsoft Windows"
