Displaying comments of computers in network neighborhood in Windows Vista and 7

In my company, we use these comments to store the name of the person to which the computer is assigned, or to describe where a particular station or server is located. It is easy in Windows XP. You just open your Network Neighborhood folder and see the comment.

In Windows Vista and Windows 7 these comments are gone and you can't get them back. But only in that folder. To see comments of all computers in your network neighborhood in Windows Vista and Windows 7, you need to open a command line window (or just Win+R / cmd / Enter) and issue command:

C:\Users\JRingos> net view

    Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead.
