Is it possible to modify how Windows XP displays Networked Resources?

[J Roberts]

In the office we have a network of approx. 10 computers running Windows 98.
I just added a new computer to the network running Windows XP professional.
It works fine, but I'm not happy how XP displays the other computers on the
network. In Windows 98, when you open Windows Explorer, then go to NETWORK
you see an IKON for each computer and/or device on the network.

Windows XP displays network resources differently. It shows the shared
directories of each computer as a jumbled mess, making it difficult to find
the files your looking for. Is there anyway to make Windows XP display
network resources like Windows 98?

I don't think there's a way to change it but there is a way to view the
computers by computer name or by the workgroup. If you open up My
Network Places on the left side there's a bunch of different options,
one of them being view workgroup computers. This will let you see the
list of computers, and also on the left side is a view entire network
that will let you view other workgroups as well.
