I am using Vista Ultimate on my home PC. When I open the Network folder to
view the devices, an icon for my DVR appears, but is labeled as "bedroom."
I'm not sure how this happened as the DVR is not in that location, nor do I
want the device to be described by location. Right clicking on the icon gives
me two choices: Create shortcut and Properties, neither of which will let me
rename this device.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wouldn't expect Vista to be able to change the way your DVD player
describes itself.

Try to change the DVD's description using the DVD's menu or
configuration?

Sry for the late response. Followed your advice and successfully changed DVR
name from within DVR setup.
Thanks so much!
