<DIV><BR></DIV>Well, in the wonderful world of Win32, most config data isn't
kept in<BR>files, its kept in the horrid mess that is the Registry. They key
in
Win95<BR>is:<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\ComputerName\ComputerName:<BR>"ComputerName"<BR><BR>Along
with the network portion of the same
data:<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP:<BR>"ComputerName"<BR><BR>I
can't verify this now as we no longer have 9x machines at work, but
