Why does xp automatically attach network printers

[Robert Lindeman]

and how can I stop it?

Thanks

[Bruce Sanderson]

In Windows Explorer
click Tools, Folder Options
select the View tab
remove the check mark from "Automatically search for network folders and
printers"

This is on by default, presumably in an attempt to make it easier for users
to use network printers.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
