A hostname is the unique name by which a network-attached device (which could consist of a computer, file server, network storage device, fax machine, copier, cable modem, etc.) is known on a network. The hostname is used to identify a particular host in various forms of electronic communication such as the World Wide Web, e-mail or Usenet.

On the Internet, the terms "hostname" and "domain name" are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle technical differences between them.

A. Isn't it under Stat - Control Panel - System - the first screen? The shortcut is Windows logo key and pause/break at the same time. Aslo look under Start - Control Panel - User Accounts. And Start - Log Off - Change User. If it's not there you can turn it on in, Start - Help and Support has intructions. If it is and doen't work it implies you are the only active account. Would you evaluate this video for me on youtube? I would like to see what people think.
