Rename the desktop "My Computer" to pc name

Hi,

Using bginfo to add to the user desktop his workstation name ?
Why not just rename the "My Computer" text to the workstation name and that's it ?

2 ways to do it:
- Using VBS Script
- Using GPP

VBS Script:
===================================
Const MY_COMPUTER = &H11&


Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
objComputerName = objNetwork.ComputerName
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_COMPUTER)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
objFolderItem.Name = objComputerName
===================================

GPP:
Just add a registry chnage on the user level:
===================================
Key:        Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Value Name:     (Default)
Value Data:    %computername%
Type:        REG_SZ
==================================

The registry key by the way is (replace 123 with what you want):
==================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
@="123"
==================================

Have fun...

Difference between Microsoft Access Runtime and Retail

Hi,

One of my clients asked me to give him a list of all the machines that runs MS Access Retail and list of MS Access Run-time.

I looked and looked and couldn't find any differences between the versions. The files are the same, the DLL's are the same. I was frustrated.

I used procmon.exe from sysinternal and found that there is no difference in the actual files but only registry settings !!!

Here there are:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\73A4C9C1-D68D-11d0-98BF-00A0C90DC8D9\11.0\Runtime]
@="rldvasjwmvjfrcatkskctmtjahdnkccdgjds"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\73A4C9C1-D68D-11d0-98BF-00A0C90DC8D9\11.0\Retail]
@="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
