| 386777 | 2005-09-08 00:22:00 | How do I suppress items being automatically added to my "Network Places"? I know it can be done, but I can't remember how. Tia |

| 386778 | 2005-09-08 01:06:00 | In My Network Places, click Tools | Folder Options | View and un-check "Automatically search for network folders and printers". You can delete any unwanted shortcuts. hth |

| 386779 | 2005-09-08 06:03:00 | Johnboy, that option seems to have stopped Windows actively searching out share to add to "My network places" :) , but it still seems to be adding them if I actually connect to a network share, and I am sure that is stoppable too - any ideas? | Tony (4941) | ||

| 386781 | 2005-09-08 09:45:00 | Just what I need, but yeah, it only works with XP Pro. I know it can be done because I have done it on this PC (running XP Home), but I've totally forgotten how! :badpc: |

| 386783 | 2005-09-08 12:23:00 | That's the one! I've checked this PC and the DWORD exists and is set, so that must be how I did it before - but how I found out about it I still can't remember! Thanks for your help. |
