I'm trying to set up a private server for my guild and I got it all there but as you can see with the provided pictures, I need to rename the server display name to not have any spaces, but I can't edit it as I know of.
Help, thanks.

You have to resize them.

So can some one actually help me here?

cefx-

You're asking to rename the service?
Or how the service displays itself in the properties?

The first one.

I can't edit it's name from the "services" menu, which i need to do.

Two ways:

Write or get an application that uses the scm interface (documented in msdn) to change the name of the service.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pvpgn and change the DisplayName value, then reboot your machine.


Now I'm curious: Why do you need to do this?

The server service display name is visible to the users somewhere?

No.

Then I still don't see why changing the display name of that service is a requirement for setting up a private server for your guild.

Maybe it tickles his fancy.

Because it can't find the correct path if the display name is spaced.

That sounds very strange. Are you sure you're operating it the right way and not just misconfiguring it? Paths with spaces have been supported for a long time in Windows....
