Show user and computer name (W2K)

[dhborchardt]

I am trying ot get the Show User and Computer Name on Desktop to work on Win 2K. I can get it to work on XP. At first I couldn't see Reg_Expand_SZ as a choice and I figured out you had to be in regedt32. I then got the choice to ad this type. Here is how I entered it.
at this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D
I clicked Edit/Add Value on the menu bar
I named the value LocalizedString
(There was no choice to rename the old value)
Selected Req_Expand_SZ
Put this in for the value:
@D:\WINNT\system32\shell32.dll,-9216@1033,%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%

It does not work.

Did you try just
%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%
?

Yes. That works on xp but not on 2000. I have been trying just about everything I can think of.
Thanks

Export the contents of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} key to a reg file and post back here to see if we can identify the problem.
