Rename the My Computer Icon
RegistryBooster 2010 - You no longer need to guess! This free stability scan will help you clean, repair and optimize your system in an easy way.
Rename the My Computer Icon
 You can right-click the My Computer icon to rename it. There's a better way, though, and that's to change the name in the registry and include an environment variable in the name. Environment variables are strings that contain information about the environment for the system and the currently logged on user. Using the environment variable %USERNAME% in the name of the My Computer icon will automatically change the icon's name for every user who uses the computer. (If you want to see what other environment variables are available, type set at the command prompt, and press Enter.)
Listing 5 sets the name of the My Computer icon to %USERNAME%'s Computer. Windows XP substitutes your account name for %USERNAME%. Incidentally, this also changes the name of the My Computer icon on the Start menu. Create the text file Mycomp.reg, copy Listing 5 to it; and then double-click the file.

NOTE: Modifying the registry is dangerous. If you make any mistake you may corrupt your registry. This may cause your system to crash or become unstable.
