“Comment (Computer Name)” format in XP

by marcr . Updated 23 years, 6 months ago

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change the way XP displays computers on the network from the “Comment (Computer Name)” format back to the old format?

When browsing for computers on the network, XP displays computers like this:

Name Comment
—- ——-
John Smith (Computer A) John Smith
Mary Jones (Computer B) Mary Jones
Frank Mill (Computer C) Frank Mill

Earlier versions of Windows display computers like this:

Name Comment
—- ——-
Computer A John Smith
Computer B Mary Jones
Computer C Frank Mill

Is there a way to tweak XP to revert to the old format?

Please let me know…thanks
