Hello, How can I change names of systems to log in WinXp's boot?? Arek I *think* you are referring to the dual boot menu. If you want to change the name of the OS on the menu, you just need to edit boot.ini file. Go to Control Panel/system/Advanced Tab/Startup & recovery/Settings Button. Click the button to edit the system startup. This will open boot.ini in notepad and you can make the changes here. Click File/Save when finished and exit. In the Boot.ini tab, you should see each OS as a separate line, similar to the following: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Make the change between the quotes. ie: change "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" to whatever you want the boot menu to show. *Warning:* Make sure that all of the other characters and spaces outside of the quoted section remain the same. -- Regards, Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup so all may benefit. http://www.dts-l.org http://www.mvps.org |
