Is it possible to show on the desktop who's logged on to the computer? I run Windows 2000 Pro.

Thansk in advance

Yes, if you're willing to edit the registry, you can change the name of "My Computer" to be "Username on Computername".

See here for details:

(Sometimes when I cut and paste URL's it looks ok to me but once the answer is posted, an extraneous space will have crept in. Make sure you delete any extraneous spaces or the page won't load).
