Hello,
how can I change a name in Win7 system's registry?

Hi there,

Working in the Registry takes a lot of experience, and knowledge of what each entry means and what it does.
You can make modifications, but when you do there is no 'confirmation', and making certain even simple looking changes can irreversibly make your OS not boot.

So it is not something to be done lightly.

Here is a good article regarding registry editing, as a starter:

There are whole books written about the Windows registry, and how to understand it.

One of the best is 'Mastering Windows XP Registry' by Peter D. Hipson, written several years ago but very thorough

The best way to learn about the registry is to read about it, so you can make informed decisions about changing it.
