How do I change the name that appears for "My Computer" on clients connecting to Windows 2000 Terminal Server?


Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I don't know how this is affected by Terminal Server, but to change My Computer on a Win2K workstation you edit the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

I haven't lost my mind - I know it's backed up on tape somewhere ....
