Hi, Peter

you might want to take a look at WMI - see Readme file at
<SDK>v1.1\Samples\Technologies\Interop\Application s\WMI

While computer name you can get using SystemInformation class, other too are
a bit too deep in for .Net.

* pe***@mclinn.com (Peter) scripsit:
1. Processor ID:
Doesn't always exist.
2. Computer name:
Can be changed.
3. Hard Drive Serial:


Can be changed in some cases or will change when replacing a corrupted
hdd.

I would not base anything on these values.
