| | My "My Computer" name got changed My cat likes to take naps on my laptop while it's on and he managed somehow to change the name of my "my computer" to "n#@". Now where ever it should say "my computer" it says n#@. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change it back. |

To run System Restore, go to the Start Orb and in the Start Search box type "System Restore" without the quotes. System Restore will appear in the Programs result. Click on it, allow the UAC prompt, and follow the wizard. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User |

If you mean the Computer button in the Start Menu or a shortcut, then right click on it and click "Rename". Just type in "Computer" again and press Enter. If you mean the name of your computer, then see: Computer Name Hope this helps, Shawn |
