Description:
Windows shows my computer as the text associated to the icon on desktop. But, you can change the name to display the currently logged in username along with computer name in the format user name on compute name. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and search the hkey_current_user registry path listed below. Now, check the string value default and delete the value data contents, if the key exists. In the second step, navigate to the hkey_classes_root registry path given below and rename the expandable string value localizedstring to localizedstring-default. Then, create an expandable string value by the same name localizedstring, and right-click to modify its value to %username% on %computername%. However, if you want to get the original name back, delete the new localizedstring value and rename the default value to localizedstring. Refresh view of your computer for the changes to take effect. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
