Change your computers workgroup name in Windows Vista.
Introduction
Computers that are networked in small networks are put into workgroups. Think of a workgroup as a way to categorize a set of computers like finance, and shipping.
This guide shows you how to change the workgroup of your Windows Vista computer.
- Open the Control Panel, open System, and then click Advanced System Settings in the left column.
- Click the Computer Name tab in the System Properties window and then click Change.
- By default your computer is set to the workgroup named workgroup. Simply erase workgroup and name your workgroup whatever you like.
- Click OK. You’ll have to restart your computer now.
