JSI Tip 3668. How can I change the desktop 'My Documents' text to 'UserName's Documents'?

If you wish to change the static My Documents icon text, to a string that includes the UserName:

1. Use Regedt32 to navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103\}.

2. Delete the LocalizedString value name.

3. Add Value name LocalizedString, as a REG_EXPAND_SZ data type.

4. Set the data value to @C:\WINNT\system32\shell32.dll,-9227@1033,%Username% or
    @C:\WINNT\system32\shell32.dll,-9227@1033,%Username%'s Documents



5. Restart Windows 2000.
