I am not sure I am saying this correctly. But I
will describe what I want.

When users browser the network with Windows Explorer
(the file manager, not IE), they see my server and
every other computer on the network. Just the
server shares files.

I do not want all the computers to show up in this list.
Is there a way to get certain computer to stop
advertising (broadcasting?) about themselves, so
they do not show up in the list.

And, I need to do it from the registry.

Many thanks,
