That is a N900 system setting. And is still correct, right?

So you want the device name shown on your PC to be changed, did I understand correct?
As you formatted the eMMC, your PC recognizes this as a "new" SD/USB/removable device. Just right-click (or F2) and change in Windows Explorer, according to your wishes.
- Wow! Thanx!! You were sopt on - that is just the bluetooth name that shows up in File Manager. Dang! Anyway, i understand that i can change this very easily from Windoze Explorer, but there must've been some setting in the device itself that made the PC recognize it as Nokia N900.
..i dunno if i am conveying my question sufficiently well here.

You have to use autorun.inf to change the icon.
Thank you!!
I know this, as i've typed above.. in Explorer, there is that irritating problem of all CAPS device naming. I am looking for something within the device actually.


..great ideas guys! Thank you..
