617635 2007-12-03 19:22:00 When I rename My Computer from the desktop icon, it reverts back to My Computer after rebooting. So I looked in the registry and found DisplayName with the value "My Computer".

Is it safe for me to alter this value and will this solve my problem? (Naturally I've already backed up the registry).

Thanks.
