Decrease the number of listings in Windows Explorer under My NetworkPlaces?

[Guest ken]

Under My Network Places I have not only the expandable Entire Network

choice, but 17 other listings, including references to the drives on the

same computer, as well as other drives and random folders on other

computers in the network. (e.g., Thunderbird on Computer x, F drive on

computer y, E drive on computer x, etc.)

 

Is there some way to clean off these entries?

 

Thanks

select them and press delete (or right-click and select delete)

 

It's faster to navigate to nethood under your user profile, where you will

see the entries as folders - it doesn't seem to take as long trying to

interpret them when you select them to delete.

Likely the path is c:\documents and settings\yourusername\nethood

Thanks. I was concerned that if I deleted the entries that it would

delete the target. Guess I was wrong!
