Correct me if I'm wrong, but that code will have OS limitations. I don't believe the WMI works on non-NT based systems without a specific manual download? I don't know which OS's have WMI included or not...

Actually, you are very close to the truth, Neal
WMI is preinstalled in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 and WMI for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 is available as an Internet download

select Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) from the treeview from the left

Got it!

i could have accomplished the same with Environment.MachineName right ?
But, for my school computer ... the machinename and the companyname is different. So, how would i go about getting the companyname ?

As article says it demonstrates only a small subset of the features within WMI. Play around with it ... let me know if you still cannot find solution by yourself ... Cheers

I'll keep the article for future reference ...

But, i managed to get the result i wanted with Application.CompanyName

Thanks.

Application.CompanyName is the company name that you as the developer supply when creating the application. It has no relationship whatsoever to the compnay name used when installing Windows on the current machine.
