Mudd Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 When I first setup this PC I made a mistake in spelling the name I gave the computer. I'd like to correct this error but darn if I can find the proper place. Guidance please. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it's WinXP (you didn't say) go to Start>Control Panel>System>Computer Name tab and click the 'Change' button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudd Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 I should have mentioned the OS,sorry. It's a Vista Home. I got to the place you mentioned and am seeing another problem. The area includes, "Computer Name, Full Computer Name, Computer Description, and Workgroup." To the right is "Change Settings." I'm able to change Computer Description but see no place to change Computer Name. In addition, your reply almost beat me posting the message!! You were quick tonight, (night here). Thanks, Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be able to find things like this before I got "dumb and old." Your time and effort is appreciated. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
