Sorry, that is not the right answer to the question asked.  The "server 
string" parameter will change the name of the string that gets stored in the 
Windows client registry. Once it is in the registry, the only way to change 
it is to edit the registry.

If it is necessary to change this value please launch regedt32.exe, then 
navigate to:

HIVE_KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\Computer 
Descriptions

Each machine that was found by the Computer Browser service will have an entry 
that you can edit or delete.

Cheers,
John T.
