Are you deleting the original value (a REG_SZ type value) and replacing it
with a REG_EXPAND_SZ type?
Must be done with Regedt32, because Regedit cannot create expandable
registry values.

Oops, sorry, #3 I know how to set registry values both locally and
remotely, the problem is that when I change the value it doesn't affect the
My Computer icon even after a reboot. (though it shouldn't require that,
just a refresh)
