Its cute. Maybe. With this hack you change "My Computer" to whatever you want. I tried the "%username% on %computername%" option but found that the label on the desktop was TOO long. It looked ugly. Try it. You may like it. If you want to change the label to a simple string, in my example to waynesworld, you can cut and paste the following script into mycomputer.reg and run it.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
""="waynesworld"

The existing value type for this object is of type REG_SZ. If you want to use expanding strings, like "%username%, you will need to use regedt32 and hack it manually. If you use a substitution string like ""="%username% on %computername%" in the above regedit script, it will not work. The default value has to be changed to type REG_EXPAND_SZ for that to work. If you don't have any idea what I am talking about, use the cut/paste .reg script and change it to something like "putz". See .REG files for background information on .REG files.

If you have Internet Explorer 6 on NT, Windows 2000, or XP (comes with IE6), rather than the above, you need to create a new REG_EXPAND_SZ value named "LocalizedString", and set the value to "%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%". That is if you want the symbols replaced.
