configure standby

[ora_inf]

Hi:

O.S :Windows NT
Oracle : 8.1.6

I have done following steps to configure the standby database

On Primary database
1) shutdown primary database
2) modified the tnsnames.ora
3) modified the init.ora file
4) startup the database
5) alter database create standby controlfile 'd:\stdby.ctl'
6) shutdown the database
4) copy all the datafile,logfile,controlfile to standby location

Here is my question:
How can I change the name of the stanby database and location of the datafiles in controfile (stdby.ctl) since I can not read the controlfile?

Let me know.

Thanks.
