qctrip Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I made an unattended XP SP2 disk and is works amazingly. One thing that was noticed in XP is the way that computers are displayed in Network Places in a domain. In the attached jpg you see the Description followed by the Computer Name.Description (Computer Name) I would need that to be inversed like thisComputer Name (Description) The same applies in My Computer with the mapped drive letters. I looked through Technet, MSFN forums, Kelly's Korner as well as scores of google search results with no luck.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank youChristian CorriveauNetwork Software AnalystCanadian Department of National Defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the Microsoft article:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;330193This registry fix requires XP SP2. It worked wonders for me.

qctrip Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 There is a mistake on the Microsoft article for changing the position of the drive letter.Was[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]"ShowDriveLettersFirst"=dword:00000004Should be[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShowDriveLettersFirst"=dword:00000004Christian CorriveauNetwork Software AnalystCanadian Department of National Defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
