For XP, right click My Computer and choose Properties. Click the %26quot;Computer Name%26quot; tab and change the %26quot;computer description%26quot; to what ever you want. You may need to change the name in your network too.
For Vista, right click Computer and then choose Properties. In the %26quot;View basic info%26quot; window, click %26quot;Change Settings%26quot;. Now, once again, change the %26quot;Computer description%26quot; to what ever you like.
