Has anyone got this to work??

Change My Computer to the actual computer name and username. Open regedt32
and go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \CLSID{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
subkey. Copy the contents of the key's LocalizedString subkey (e.g.,
@C:\WINNT\system32\shell32.dll,-9216@1033,My Computer) to Notepad. Delete the
LocalizedString subkey, then recreate it using the data type REG_EXPAND_SZ.
Copy Notepad's contents into the new subkey, and change My Computer to
%username% on %computername%.

I followed these instructions and it did nothing. Any ideas?
