| idoL | I'm trying to set up a private server for my guild and I got it all there but as you can see with the provided pictures, I need to rename the server display name to not have any spaces, but I can't edit it as I know of. Help, thanks. http://www.geocities.com/kool2xx/random You have to resize them. | July 13, 2004, 2:22 AM |

| idoL | So can some one actually help me here? | July 13, 2004, 4:01 AM |
| crankycefx | You're asking to rename the service? Or how the service displays itself in the properties? | July 13, 2004, 4:08 AM |

[/quote] Two ways: Write or get an application that uses the scm interface (documented in msdn) to change the name of the service. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pvpgn and change the DisplayName value, then reboot your machine. Now I'm curious: Why do you need to do this? | July 13, 2004, 1:32 PM |

| Adron | The server service display name is visible to the users somewhere? | July 13, 2004, 4:55 PM |

[/quote] Because it can't find the correct path if the display name is spaced. | July 13, 2004, 5:58 PM |

Are you sure you're operating it the right way and not just misconfiguring it? Paths with spaces have been supported for a long time in Windows.... | July 13, 2004, 7:19 PM |

[/quote] Yeah I know it sounds wierd but heres a quote from the tech support when I had this problem: [quote]If your experiencing problems while trying to start the service, the exe file that you want to use as the service may need to be renamed to PvPGNEliteService.exe .[/quote] So I needed to rename it from PvPGN N Elited Service.exe to PvPGNEliteService.exe, but I could'nt change it because it was uneditible from what I knew. | July 14, 2004, 3:40 AM |

[/quote] Oooooh. So it was the path to the EXE you had to change, not the display name. That makes a bit more sense. The display name is only used to display a friendly name to you as the user of the computer, so noone should ever have to change that. How is the service name put in there from the start? Some setup application? Names with spaces should work, but you may have to surround them with quotes. Sounds like a bug in their program if it doesn't put them there.... | July 14, 2004, 7:20 AM |
| idoL | When you start the installation application it stores your server service into the administrative tools for you to start and stop, from there you edit the exe files. | July 14, 2004, 11:12 AM |
| Adron | It's possible that those shortcuts are missing quotes - 'net start "PvPGN N Elite Service" ' | July 14, 2004, 1:43 PM |
| crankycefx | Enter safe mode w/ networking. Login as the true 'Administrator' account. You should be able to edit anything from there. | July 14, 2004, 2:16 PM |
