My Computer Properties from Start > Run

Category: Web — Matt @ 4:45 pm — Comments (1)

Just a little shortcut.  I happened to be using a locked down Windows Vista computer that would not let me access the “properties” of the My Computer icon.  I needed to change the computer workgroup, and could not seem to get into it.  I looked to see if there was a registry entry to edit for workgroup, but instead came up with this alternative.

To edit the properites of My Comptuer in Windows Vista or Windows XP:

  1. Start > Run
  2. Enter: sysdm.cpl and hit enter
« Install PHP on Windows Vista
Ooma Update after 5 Months of Use »
