Remove PC from Workgroup

[Guest Alan]

Hi,

 

How I can remove my PC (Win XP MCE) from a workgroup?

I can't change it because it's inactive since last time I joined PC to a

new workgroup.

 

thanks in advance.

You can join it to a new workgroup if desired.

That is the problem, the workgroup name area is inactive now (after

joining current workgroup), may be i need to restart a certain

service(s) in services.msc or just waiting may be it have a time out

thing!!!!

You'll need to be logged on as local administrator. Also possibly Client for

Microsoft Networks (aka workstation service) may need to be installed. Other

possibility is third party networking tools have taken control of these

settings.
