I'm presently preparing a script that will be used in an installation point of only windows XP. One of it's features is to change some data taken from a .ini file.

Here is my problem:

I've worked a lot with Windows 95 + 98 and i'm used to their registry that is quite simple compared de NT ones like XP.
For example, i found 27 places where i can get the Computer name(!!!)
From my research on the site, i found some keys that are supposed to change correctly the information i want to transform.

For example, I read that the key HKLM\system\ccs\control\computername\computername is the one to use for changing the PCname.
I read too that the key HKLM\system\ccs\services\{XXX}\parameters\tcpip\ipaddress is the one to change.
In both case, i changed the key but to no avail. The PCname and the IP address are still the old one.

Is there a way to change those key at 100%?
I need too the pcdescription to change. In this case it should be easier since i found it only in 3 places!

Last thing, this question is not directly kix related but i still take a chance:
Why NT uses these current control set, control set 1 and 2 etc... They almost get the same info. What are their use?

In conclusion, i want to thank Shawn for it's Kixpop tool. It's working like a charm. With these HTML pages, my work looks great!
