hmmm, i have never seen any program that would want to do that, but my guess is that the hostname of the computer is stored within the registry.
Search the registry to see if this is true, and if so then any language that can access the registry should be able to do this. I am pretty certain, however, that it would require a reboot.
Hope this helps, Chi
