Machine can been seen on the LAN

[Paul Jex]

Hello All

I have a Windows XP Pro machine that I have on a Workgroup.

I want to stop other users on the LAN, on the same
workgroup from seeing my computer in My Network Places.

I'm sure that it is a Registry Key but I cant find it.

Does any one know how to do this?

Cheers all

Paul

Open a Command Prompt (Start ... Run ... CMD)
and then type in

net config server /?

This has a Hidden option to hide your PC from the browse list.
