Introduction

Computers that are networked in small networks are put into workgroups. Think of a workgroup as a way to categorize a set of computers like finance, and shipping.

This guide shows you how to change the workgroup of your Windows Vista computer.

  1. Open the Control Panel, open System, and then click Advanced System Settings in the left column.
  2. Click the Computer Name tab in the System Properties window and then click Change.
  3. By default your computer is set to the workgroup named workgroup. Simply erase workgroup and name your workgroup whatever you like.
