I think thats what I used to rename my triple boot list (3 installed OS), and maybe some other things. It worked perfectly for what I used it for, as far as I remember.
for example, my boot list used to say something like:
Windows [older version]
Windows 7
Windows 7
and I renamed it to:
Windows XP Professional
Windows 7 32-Bit
Windows 7 64-Bit
I really don't remember what else I used it for. Maybe I made Windows 7-64 bit the default boot option, and changed the time to choose.
I didn't need it to install more than one OS, however. I installed XP first, and 7 64-bit last, so Windows created the boot loader automatically for me, simply by installing 7 last, and selecting "don't overwrite previous" (or whatever it said) from the Win7 installation menu.
As far as I remember, this program was designed for Vista, but it works fine in Windows 7, like most applications designed for Vista.
on a related note, I've been thinking of deleting the Windows 7 32-bit OS, and freeing up the partition for data. Win7 64-bit usage now makes up 47% of the Windows 7 users, and I've never used (or needed to use) Win7 32-Bit. This is mostly due to the 'Windows Logo' program, which requires device manufacturers to create 64-Bit drivers as well.
