Hi,

I have an application that uses the environment variable ClientName to store
some information. It looks like this env. variable is set in the registry
in the hkcu hive. It is set for console, is this some sort of default and
can I change it? Do I have to change it here or is there a control panel
somewhere that handles this setting? I first looked in the System control
panel, under Environment Variables but didn't see it there at all.

I want to set this to the machine name cause I have a number of identical
systems and they are currently all set the same, I'd like them unique.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Linn
