I have some solution for the problem which might be help you to change the ID name of your computer. First you go to the My Computer into the Desktop of your computer and right-click on the icon of that, and then go to properties. Where you will see a option to change the computer name, remove the existing one and then insert the new one that you want to store as the name of the computer. You should ask for the windows permission, click on the continue, after that you will see that your computer name is changed as you edited, you can check it as the same that you apply for the changing.

If you are using your computer as the Domain machine, then you should first go for the tab of the computer name in the my computer window , where you should select the Domain and then add the windows XP based computer description. To locate the computer name tab go to the system properties dialog box off the computer name tab of the control panel. Click on the START option and the go to the My Computer, and then right-click on that option and proceed to the properties of the My Computer. Where you can able to do the operation. Or you can also do this from the RUN option of the START menu, where you should type the sysdm.cpl and click on the OK or hit the ENTER. Another option is you can able to do this from the Performance and Maintenance tab from the control panel of the computer then go to system.
