It's 100% guaranteed that you can rename "My Computer" in Windows 95.

A teacher at one of my old schools changed it to "My Imitation Macintosh" on most of the student computers in his classroom (Pentium 100, all Windows 95).

I’m inclined to agree with FC, as I mentioned before I’m sure it was a Win 95 machine that my friend renamed My Computer to George. If was back in the time of NFS but I can’t remember if it was the first or second game, though it doesn’t really matter since either way it still pre-dates Win 98.

Didn't you need a tweak program to rename 'my computer' in W95 ?
Or was that needed to get rid of the icon on the desktop?

I think it was needed to get rid of it, I remember renaming it just by pressing F2(meaning, just using rename Wink

)
