Hi schule,

SetComputerNameEx changes the NetBIOS name.
What I need is to rename "My Computer".
We cannot rename it programmatically like other folders because it is a virtual folder. There are Shell API's for modifying the display names by giving virtual folder's class id.

I wrote the code but there is a runtime error in IShellFolder::SetNameOf function.
