How to modify solution macro in VS 2005?

In my solution (Visual Studio 2005), there are more than 10 VC projects. My OS is Windows 64.

In the .vcproj, there are many solution/project macros, like $(Solution), $(ConfigurationName) and $(PlatformName).

As you know, $(PlatformName) equals to x64, but what I expect is that $(PlatformName) equals to win64. How to achieve this?

Some people tell me to do as follows:

"Build" --> "Configuration Manager" --> "Active solution platform"

and then new/edit the option. After modifying, win64 exists under Active solution platform, but still the Platform shown as follows appears x64.

It has puzzled me for some days. Please help.

$(PlatformName) refers to the project selected build platform, not the solution platform. Unlike the solution platform which you may name as you like, the project platforms have fixed names such as Win32, x64, Itanium etc. You unfortunately cannot name these freestyle.
