Help Change name of device?

I was wondering if you can change the device name the way it shows via usb.. I have changed it to what I wanted for blue tooth and Kies but it still shows default on my desktop while connect via usb.

Yes easy fix. Right click the icon on your My Computer Desktop and rename it there (Do it within Windows). You can see I did it for mine and by the way if you then plug it into a different computer it's changed for it too. think of it as a USB drive. You can rename it just like any one you plug into your computer.
