Renaming PPC

ActiveSync lists the default name of the PPC. I would like to change the default name on the handheld. How can the name be changed in ActiveSync to match?

Start - Settings - System tab - About - Device ID tab.

Thanks Gigi.

Actually I knew how to change the name of the PPC. I just wasn't sure how to get ActiveSync on the PC to recognize the name change.

When you sync with the new name for the first time, you will be prompted to create a new partnership. You shouldn't have to do anything special. :)

This was too simple! I was expecting a more convoluted solution. Thanks.
