Dual Boot, how can I edit the text

I have Win XP in 2 different partitions so I can separate mine from the kids. When I boot up they both say Win XP. How can I edit the test so I can have one say Dad and one say Kids?

this might be relevant

boot.ini is an ultra hidden file. firstly u have to be administrator, then do the following,

Tools -> Folder options... -> View

then deselect

"Hide protected operating system files"

then only was i able to see my boot.ini file using explorer under C:

as evildude said, change the part in the " " as u seem fit
