Default Missing Feature???

Hi all,

i ve been searching for a nice feature that was easily found in windows xp
pro but cannot locate it in vista. The feature is the comments that gave me a
bit more information on which user I assigned a specific comuter and it was
easy to go to my network neighborhood then quickly select what user I need at
the time.

I know this is minor but if someone can point me in the right direction to
find this on vista please le t me know.

If the feature is non-existent I would like to know that as well.

recap when clicking on my network then the specific network then you have a
list of computers that have comments next to them, in vista i cannot locate
the comments.

thanks

Default Missing Feature???

Sorry for the wrong heading I meant missing attribute for example in vista
there are headings (attributes) like name discovery method, and workgroup. in
windows xp it was name and comments.

I cannot find the comments in vista under network

just to clarify

It is the same as XP; it's done when you are adding them.

Thanks for your reply but, my problem is how do i view the comments that I
have already applied to all my systems.

For example, I want to be able to click on network and quickly glance to see
who has what computer based on comments.

I was able to do that in windows xp pro but not in vista.

any ideas
