Why does my laptop think it is a master browser? Can I make it never be one?
I think I remember doing that back in the Windows 2000 days but that has
been a long time ago for me.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

One can control how a computer participate in the Master Browser election,
with these STRING registry keys :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
IsDomainMaster = False (On = "True", Off = "False", Default = "False")
http://smallvoid.com/tweak/winnt/sharing.html#MASTER_BROWSER

Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, look under the following subkeys for
some common registry settings that relate to browsing:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\IsDomainMaster
* IsDomainMaster parameter information:
* When set to 1, this parameter provides a priority boost to increase its
likely hood of winning a master browser election. It does not allow the
browse server to become the domain master browser. This value is a boolean
value and can be any of the following: Yes/No, True/False, or 1/0.

Control Network Browser Elections
A browser election is a normal network occurrence and provides a means to
guarantee there is never more than one master browser present in a domain or
workgroup.

To control which computer is the Domain Master Browser, create a new string
value, or modify the existing value, named "IsDomainMaster" and set the
value to equal either "Yes", "No" or "Auto".

To prevent an NT Workstation or Server (non-PDC) from acting as a browser,
create a new string value, or modify the existing value, named
"MaintainServerList" and set it "No", the other options are "Yes", "No" or
"Auto".

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: These values may also be standard boolean values in the form
"True/False" or "0/1".

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
Value Name: IsDomainMaster
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: No
