Change SQL Instance name to default(local) instrance



I found some information, but, it didn't work.

Now, i open the enterprise manager, and My SQL Server name is
DENNIS\DENNISDB(windows NT), but i want to change this name to default
name(local), when i installed sql, i changed the instance name, i want
default name.

I used this method.


EXEC sp_dropserver 'DENNISDB'
go
EXEC sp_addserver 'DENNIS', 'local'
go

and i restart SQL Server Service and,

SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('servername'))
result : DENNIS\DENNIDB

select @@SERVERNAME
result : DENNIS

But, stil Instance name On My Enterprize Manager is DENNIS\DENNISDB, I want
"(local)" instance

Help me plase..
