How to create a Virtual Directory that uses instance name

Hi,
I installed Reporting Services 2005 as an instance MYMACHINE\RS2005. If I do
this, the regular setup creates a Virtual Directory called
http://MYMACHINE/ReportServer$RS2005/
But if I wanted to create a similar virtual directory (say
http://MYMACHINE/TestServer$RS2005) using Reporting Services Configuration
tool, it errors out saying the virtual directory name is invalid (I just type
in TestServer$RS2005 in the virtual directory name)
How can I accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Also,
I just found documentation on MSDN that said that the tool will
automatically add the instance name, but when I use the tool, it just creates
a Virtual Directory called TestServer.
