Rename my C600

[Guest Mr.Clark]

This is driving me slightly spare... and it's such a silly little niggle.

My C600 is called WM_Administrat1. How can I change it? I've gone into the bluetooth settings and renamed it there, but that's not affecting the ActiveSync device name. :D

look for a piece of software called 'RJV Reg Tweaks UI' that will allow you to change the active sync name.

There is a reg tweak but i cant remember the key n values etc right now

ActiveSync Name Tweak

To change the name of your phone for ActiveSync,

Go into RegEdit and change the following key,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Ident

Select 'Values'

Select 'Name' (sometimes there may be two just edit any)

Then change the Value Data to the new name for your phone (no spaces)

Next time you plug in your phone, ActiveSync should connect as normal, but the name will have changed.

There you go :D

Ah! You legend! :D Thanks a bunch!

It seems limited at what it can do, as the phone is locked down tighter than a ducks arse, but it did let me change the name, and that all I wanted.

Thanks again!
