How can I change my computer's Workgroup name in Windows XP Home Edition on my laptop?

I'm trying to network my XP and Vista computers and on Microsoft's Help Center, it says I have to change my XP's Workgroup name to ';WORKGROUP'; instead of the default ';MSHOME';. I tried to do this, but when I go to do it, the box is grayed out where I can't change this? Is there any way to get around this?How can I change my computer's Workgroup name in Windows XP Home Edition on my laptop?
