VM name not updated for Win7

Hello,
I've just installed Win7 on my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) running Parallels 5. It seems to be working fine except that the name of the virtual machine remains Vista in my list of virtual machines and on the desktop title bar. Should this not automatically have been renamed? Can I change this myself, or would this cause confusion of some kind.
Tks,
Wayne
 
So simple

Thanks for the solution. I'd actually gone to the Configure menu item before posting but couldn't change the name. It didn't dawn on me until trying your solution that I first had to shut down Windows. : - )

Much appreciated.

Vm name change

Cannot change name from XP to Win 7 in confi file. File grayed out. Tried to do so with Windows shutdown but still cannot do so Please explain. Thanks.
 
Hi JeromeS,
should be possible. Make sure to restart Mac OS X, start Parallels Desktop (don't start VM), control-click the needed VM in Virtual Machine List and select Configure. Editing name should be possible in General tab.
