What is the full name of a computer?

Answer 1

I believe you are wondering how to find the full name of a computer as it would appear on a network. There are two ways to do this (in Windows).

Method one:

# Right-click on My Computer. The My Computer icon is either on your desktop, or in the Start menu. # Click on Properties # In Windows XP your computer name will be below the Computer Name tab.

In Windows Vista your computer name will be displayed on the lower half of the current window. Method two:

# Press and release the Windows Key (key on keyboard with the Windows logo on it) and the letter R at the same time. # In the text box type cmd # In the new window that appears, type ipconfig/all # Your computer name will appear under the heading Windows IP Configuration. You may need to scroll up to find that heading. The name will be listed as the host name.

If you are asking what computer stands for, then it is not an acronym. The notion that the word computer is an acronym is an urban legend. However, for those who are curious, they say it means:

C = Commonly
O = Operating
M = Machine
P = Particularly
U = Used for
T = Technical and
E = Educational
R = Research
