    How can I remove a computer that is seen in Windows Explorer, My Network Places, Microsoft Windows Network? Operating system is XP. (Not upgraded to SP3 yet.)

    Hi Steve.

    There is not an option for "delete ". Only Expand, open, explore and properties. And the properties is one tab saying "Microsoft Windows Network ".

    I've looked into the network properties, firewall options, windows explorer options and sharing. At one time the user selected sharing, then went back and un-ticked sharing to remove.

    Does the pc actually exist in your network? If so, changing it's workgroup name would probably remove it and possible cause other issues.

    You don't say why you wish to do this.

    Or if it is stuck there even tho the computer don't exist on the network.

    So if it is on the network and you want it gone.

    On Local Area connection rt then uncheck File and printer sharing and Client for Microsoft networks. This is on the computer you do not want to see on the network.
