How do I display the total number of items in a window and the hard drive icon on the desktop? How to change the computer name?

How do you display the number of items in each folder window? Also how can I get the hard drive icon to appear on the desktop? Also in the User's profile somewhere, I wish to change the name of the computer. How do I do that?

At the bottom of each Finder window there bill be the number of items in the window and the amount of free space on that volume.
