Description:
By default, windows xp displays shares from other computers the following way: share_name on comment_text (computer_name). By using this tweak you are able to change the position of computer_name, so it is shown next to share_name: share_name on computer_name (comment_text). For this, go to start > run menu, enter "regedit" and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value "togglecommentposition", if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to "1" to change the way of showing names. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to "0". Restart your system for the change to take effect.
