DETERMINE A COMPUTER NAME OR LOGGED-ON USERNAME

Do you support users where the hardest part is trying to determine their computer name or the logged-on username? Wouldn't it be great if this
information were always on the desktop? Here's how:

1. Start the Registry editor (regedt32.exe)
2. Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}.
3. Select the <No Name> value and Delete.
4. From the Edit menu select Add Value.
5. Leave the value name blank and set the type to REG_EXPAND_SZ.
6. Click OK and enter the text "User: %USERNAME% on: %COMPUTERNAME%".
7. Click OK.

Click the desktop and press F5 (for refresh) and the change takes effect. Now,
when each user logs on to the workstation, the My Computer icon on the desktop
will have the text "User: xxxxxx on: wwwwww" in
place of the text "My Computer." The usual warnings and disclaimers about
editing the Registry apply.
