Change the Processor Name shown in System Properties

Note, this trick is really not recommended as this may cause windows to provide falsified information to it self and other applications, which would cause system stability issue and may slow down the system….

How to Change the Processor Name shown in the System properties Dialog Box ??

Under Windows XP, Click Start, then RUN Command, “regedit“… (Without the quote symbols)… Now please navigate your self to this Registry location,

>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > HARDWARE > DESCRIPTION > SYSTEM > CENTRAL PROCESSOR > GO TO 0

@ sudip
You can also just simply drag the shortcut of the program you want to startup by dragging it to
Start>All Programs>Startup

This will not work, the System info is read by windows on Startup… It reads the info from the motherboard and changes it back each time windows starts…

The actual key is further down in the Registry but it cant be changed…

THIS IS MY WAY TO MAKE IT PERMANENT
Just change the registry then click file and export, save it under INTEL on the desktop. Then put the INTEL file on your Startup Folder usually
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

This will open this registry tweak everytime u log in. It will ask u to accept it and done. permanent Intel i7.
