What is the actual process/command that happens when I click on the Override button of a hosts config file - specifically the SmbShareName?

I have a "Self Provisioning" solution whereby a user can authenticate to a BackupPC web page, and their computer will automatically provision itself for backup.  However, I have  a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP machines.  As part of the self provisioning process the hosts would be defaulted to the global share name of C$ (uppercase) which contains Windows 7-specific BackupExcludeFiles specs.  However, I can determine host OS version at the time of the provisioning, so if the workstation is XP I'd want to override the SmbShareName to be c$ (lowercase) which would contain Windows XP-specific BackupExcludeFiles.
