Default Renaming a PC

Hi,

When I set up my old pc I gave it an obscure name. I'd like to remane it to
something more memorable for the purposes of identifying it on certain
programs that operate on my home network. It's easy in XP, but I can't see
how to do it in 98se!

Thanks

You could also have done it by Right clicking on Network Neighborhood -
Properties - Identification tab.
