hi frnds .. this is not a software but a manual processor to change the windows name on boot screen to the name you desire.

well this is useful to the person who has two windows or more than it. and he just apply the theme or transformation pack of other operating system like mac os x or Linux or any other modification he did on his computer.

well any theme or transformation pack does not change the name of your operating system on the boot screen. and they just caught wile making fool to there frnds. so here is the trick to change the name of windows (Microsoft Windows XP Professional ) to there desire name.

1st of all you should have to enable the hidden files and disable the option of ( hide protected operating system files) ( which is just next to the hidden files option ). to do this just go to control panel>folder options> click on view.


2nd step: just go to "C drive" and open the hidden file "boot.ini"

just do the modification here..

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


as you see this line on that note "boot.ini" just write any name in place of "Microsoft Windows XP Professional".

for eg :-
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Apple Mac OS X Leopard" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

thats it, you have done. now save and exit. now you have to do is just reboot your computer to see the name you written at boot screen. no one of your friend can caught you while you were fooling them. you can also write "windows vista or windows 7 or windows gurlove or etc.."
