That's controlled by the PS1 environment variable. You can search for
where it's set with "grep PS1 ~/.*" then change it there. I like
this:
export PS1='($?) $(hostname) ${PWD}_ '
for user and this for root:
export PS1='($?) $(hostname) [root] ${PWD}_ '
You then need to source the file you changed, then run urxvt.
