Guest ken Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 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 Ken K

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

I was concerned that if I deleted the entries that it would delete the target. Guess I was wrong!
