slam69,
I need a little more instruction to use the vbs script.
I copied the script from the website and save in on my desktop as changedescription.vbs
so what do I do next?
if I double click on it nothing happens.
Thanks

Are this Windows XP clients in a Windows Domain?
If so, then you can deploy the script at logon:

Then use the script I mentioned earlier.

I don't quiet follow how this works.
I understand copy the text to a file and name it .vbs
Then you say to add it the the login scripts.
one the user has the login script and the login to their pc.
once that is done how does the rename the compter description work?

Try this VB Script:
Just open text editor, paste code and edit the part you need to, then save as .vbs
Code is BETWEEN the equal signs
==========================
set wshshell = createobject("wscript.shel
regkey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
regval = "This is where your new description - comment goes"
wshshell.regwrite regkey ,regval
SET WSHSHELL = NOTHING
==========================
