Hi All,
OS: Windows 2000 & Windows XP:-
In the NetworkNeighbourhood, we can see all the mahcvines that are networked. In that First column will be "Name"-which represents macnhieen name. The second column will be "Comment". I need to insert my name into that "Comment" area.

So that, people could easily find my machine by sorting het "comment" column.


Pls..Need a solution.

Regards,
Knight

You will have to change settings in your machine.

I don't use XP so am not too sure about the steps. But try this out. Right click on my computer, go to computer name and change the computer description.
