I have a question about how to change "Turn Off Computer" option to "Turn Off XYZ"
in WindowsXP i.e instead of Computer in 'Turn Off Computer', it should give my name.

what you're asking requires a binary or hex editor and editing a very critical system
file which is not advisable..

Actually this is rather simple and requires no editing.
Goto:
start >> control panel >> system
Then click the tab named "Computer Name"
Give it a name and click ok.. then log off user and you will see the change.
VEry simple, very easy to change.
Thanks,
Shawn HOffman

Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Computer Name tab - click the Change
button and enter the new name for the PC, then click OK. Click OK to exit out and
then reboot the PC. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
