What is my Domain Name?

[Alex Coleman]

I am trying to run the freeware application "Bubble" which says it
can do this:

"switch desktop, Internet Explorer and registry editor between
different user accounts while maintaining the currently logged on
session".

However I can't work out what to put in the "domain name" input
field. I can access the Computer Name tab of System Properties in
WinXP but how do I construct the Domain Name from that info?

And do I need any special characters or seperators in the Domain
Name?

Are you connected to a domain? Usually that would be a Corporate network
with a server.
Ask your IT department; they'll be happy to help!
If you are doing this for a home network...why?

What does System Identification say? Look in Help if you are unsure where
to bring that up. Are you in a WORKGROUP or a domain? You would not have
Fast User Switching if you are in a domain and if you are using Home edition
you aren't in a domain either.

Since we don't have access to your network, how the f*#k are we supposed
to know. Contact your system admin. If you are it, then you are
f*#ked.

I forgot to mention that mine is a stand-alone home PC running XP Pro
+ SP1 attached to the net via a cable modem.

I am administrator and I want to be able to access the other user
accounts on this PC without losing clipboard contents and access to
tools etc.

"System Identification" does not seem to be in XP's help. Nor in
Google.

I guess I must be in a workgroup as there is a name associated
with workgroup in System Properties. And, yes, I do have Fast
User Switching enabled.

I am not running XP Home. I am running XP Pro with SP1. It is a
single machine connected to the web via cable.

Hope that helps you determine my Domain Name for me. Thank you.

Standalone PC's don't belong to a Domain. You may want to plud the
"Workgroup" name in the box.

Standalone PC's don't belong to a domain. You could try plugging the
"Workgroup" name into the box, or check with the programs "tech support".
