Changing Machine names

[Steven0123]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change a hostname on a Pc/Laptop via a registry edit or would this be best done via the System Properties menus..

Reason being that I need to change names on all laptops on our network... Approx 200+

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
