My Computer Rename it on Desktop

Are you similar to Lindburgh and you are always customising you equipment ?

Well if you are this is a tweak which allows you to have a personalized name instead of the generic My Computer.

Of no Value at all just idiosyncrasy

Mine is:‐ “ Lindburgh on Crap”

Before you start the usual caveat “Procedures before modifying etc.”

Go to :‐

Start > Run > In the box type without the quotes “ Regedit “ Enter

Scoll to :‐

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {20D04FE0‐3AEA‐1069‐A2D8‐08002B30309D}

Data Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ [Expandable String Value] // Value Name: LocalizedString

Rename the value LocalizedString to LocalizedString.old Modify/Create the Value Name LocalizedString

To the Value Data below :‐

Create a REG_EXPAND_SZ [Expandable String Value] and name it [LocalizedString] Value Data for [LocalizedString]: [%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%]

Example ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ “ %Lindburgh% on %Crap%

Exit Registry and Reboot

Your “My Computer” icon will now reflect the current user and computer name.

Take care though in the Registry
