Easy on the RTFM. :) I also fought this for along time. Even after I changed the above mentioned string, the d*&m XP machines still displayed the long name. There is some sort of cacheing going on in XP that has to be cleared. Sorry I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but be aware of that Gary and Google for the instructions.
