Thanks so much for the help guys. I got the code Sick Monkey provided
to work on my computer. Now I"m more confused than ever though. :) I
thought the only standard modules provided by Python are listed here:

http://docs.python.org/modindex.html

But it appears that there are other modules available to me without
having to download third party code. Could someone point me to the
documentation of these other modules such as win32com.client? Thanks
everyone for your help. :)

Chances are you're running the ActiveState distro
of Python. Either that or you downloaded the pywin32
extensions in your sleep:

http://pywin32.sf.net

In any case, that's where the win32com.client and
friends come from. The installation normally supplies
a handy .chm file which gives all the docs.

Also, how could I get the computer name?

You can do that with WMI as well. Just look at
the Win32_ComputerSystem object and its Caption
attribute:
