missing entire network icon in my network places for windows xp ho

[Guest]

Okay, my previous question was answered and I am very happy with that, but
here is a second question regarding windows xp home.

When I open up the my network places icon to view all of the contents of the
network, I can see all of the workstations, server, etc., however I cannot
see the entire network icon that should be there.

On the other machines (windows XP pro, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 server)
the entire network icon is there, but not on my windows xp home computer.

How do I get this icon to appear? I have heard that you can press the F5
key to refresh and I did that, but no luck. I was going to try and register
some dlls and or add a missing dll but I am not sure if that will help.

Please tell me step by step how to add the missing entire network icon to
the my network places view.

How are you opening My Network Places?

If I click Start | "My Network Places" or open My Network Places from
the Network Connections folder, there's no Entire Network icon.

If I run Windows Explorer and click My Network Places, there's an
Entire Network icon. Under it are Microsoft Terminal Services,
Microsoft Windows Network, and Web Client Network. Is that what
you're looking for?
