I think that one of the simplest methods to do this is to add a new 'string value' in the registry. The name of this key is 'Local'. You add it under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE. Then you write the host string of database name as the value of this key. (Of course you know that the host string is the name used in tnsnames.ora) I always use this method whenever I don't want the user to write the db name by himself.
