Deleting a NetWork Place folder

[Hollis D. Paul]

I had a web, served by a virtual server using an IP address (10.0.0.40)
which was bound to the LAN NIC on my SBS2003 server. I have deleted
that IP address from the NIC on the server, removed the DNS entry to
that IP address, and assigned a host header to the Virtual Web Server
of the web.

However, the IP address lives on in the Network Place folders. Every
time I select that Network Place folder, whatever is touching it quits
responding, and I have to use the task manager to delete the
application. How do I delete that entry in the Network Places?

How do I delete that entry in the Network Places?

I found that if I click on the network place icon in question a second
time, and let it run a very long time, it comes back selected. Then,
if I just hit the delete key, and let that run a very long time, then
it gives me the dialog window that lets me send it to the Recycle Bin.

By 'run a very long time', I mean more than 5 minutes--I went away and
did something else.
