"My computer" to Hostname

When working with multiple machines I found it rather stupid that the Windows explorer always shows "My computer". I have 10 mstscs open and then wonder why I copied that file.

"There are some that get folded into a DC and will cause performance issues on all but the smallest networks (e.g. File Server/intranet server/WDS Server) but these issues are probably manageable depending on load.
