Win9x question...

[wea at swiggartagin.com (Warren E. Agin)]

Try looking through NETSETUP.LOG in WINNT/DEBUG, if you have it.
Also, virus scan activity logs will contain references to the machine name.
If you have Frontpage, frontpg.ini in WINNT will have a reference.

  I can confirm the first one. The second is likely dependent on the networking configuration - my registry does not contain that setting option.

    Well, in the wonderful world of Win32, most config data isn't kept in
    files, its kept in the horrid mess that is the Registry. They key in Win95
    is:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\ComputerName\ComputerName:
    "ComputerName"

    Along with the network portion of the same data:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP:
    "ComputerName"

    I can't verify this now as we no longer have 9x machines at work, but I
    shuffled through one of my stacks of paper and found this.
