It may be stored in a registry entry, but changing it probably involves more
than just altering the registry, particularly if the computer is joined to a
domain.
The proper way to rename a domain machine (local or remote) programmatically
is with the NetRenameMachineInDomain function from the windoze netapi32
library.
If it's not in a domain, you should be able to use the NetServerSetInfo
function to much the same end.
