change computer desktop icon in Windows 2008 R2 to display computer name
- by Mouffette
In Windows 2003 I was able to change the registry key as follows to display the actualy computer name on the desktop using the Computer Desktop Icon.
System Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
Change "LocalizedString" value to %COMPUTERNAME%
I'm getting access denied messages using regedit for this key and I'm unable to give full rights to this specific key as well as administrator.
Does anyone have a better solution for displaying the computer name on the desktop?
Thanks.
