Fix for: Windows XP: how to change computer name without reboot?
Low Risk
I don't believe it is possible. Even Windows 7 still requests a reboot when changing the computer name. You can say restart later when you change it but I have a feeling the machine will still identify itself as the old name until the next reboot(?).
