    change bt name in registry

    I wish to change a bluetooth device nickname by using c# (without reboot).

    By using a registry monitor, I see that when I modify the bluetooth name by Hardware Advanced Properities,

    the registry key

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0001\5&28c0de0&0&1\Device Parameters\Local Name

    is modified with correspondent binary value.

     
    But If I modify the registry key manually the bluetooth device name not change.

    It change only If I modifiy the registry key, then unplug and plug the bluetooth dongle.

    What is the problem?

    My guess would be that there is a way to do this through System.Management (WMI) interfaces, but I'm not familiar with that area of functionality.
