Hi, Bimmer Guy.

Perhps you're referring to the following location:

• Open "My Computer" (may be located in your "Start" menu or an icon on your desktop).
• Right-click anywhere on the empty part of the My Computer window.
• Select Properties.
  (This will open your "System Properties" window.)
• Select the "Computer Name" tab.
• Click the "Change" button.
• Edit the "Computer name:" field.

EDIT: Here's a quicker (but perhaps harder to remember unless you use it often) way to get to the "System Properties" window:

Hold down your Windows Key and press the Pause Key.


Please let us know if this works for you.

 

Hi mailman, I replied too soon. Your suggestion fixed the query I had. Thanks very much.

ps That quick little edit trick is one I will remember. Saves time
