I am writing to find out if anyone knows how to change how the computer
names are displayed in My Network Places. When I browse to our network
it shows all of the computers but it has them listed with their
Computer Description first with the computer name in perenthases. At an
old company I worked for we had a registry hack that would list it with
computer name first followed by the computer description. I would like
to find that hack or at least where in the registry to change it.

Example: Computer name is LAPTOP and computer description is DELL D620
In My Network Places when I browse to our domain it is displayed as
DELL D620 (LAPTOP)
I would like it to appear as LAPTOP DELL D620 or something similar but
with the computer name first

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

EB
