Resolved Changing Name of PC

Hi friends

Changing the "Computer Description" in the "System Properties" (see attached .jpg) will NOT cause the "Full Computer Name" shown in the NetWork. How can i change the "Full Computer Name ". Appreciate your Help.

 

Found this as archive in Tom's Hardware Forum:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/35312-45-change-full-computer-name-system
You'll have to read a fair bit as they tend to show a repeat of the original question and the answer all the way through the Thread. Neil.

 

FuzMic, from the Attached pic that you posted
You will see at the bottom of "Computer Name" tab

"To rename this computer or join a domain, click Change. "

Click the Change... button
New window that opens rename full computer name under "Computer name" field

 

Thanks the 3 of you. I think i forget to click the "change" button, sometimes i get to be very dumb. Thanks Music guy.

 

no problem, as Evan pointed out, please click resolved
