Hi speed,

thanks for that - I'm probably not making it clear what I need as a lot of people on other forums have offered the same solution.

I'm looking to get the actual name that the user gives the computer, which might be a windows only thing? For example, I have a laptop I call D-LAPTOP.

Hope that makes a bit more sense - it's a bit of a long shot anyway as I guess it isn't the sort of information you should be able to just access.

THanks for your help
