I don't think you can hide it completely but you can ensure not a single
folder or printer linked to that PC is shared over the network.
 
You can modify the registry or use net config command. this link may help,

I have the opposite problem. I've added a new Presario/Sempron running XP
Home SP 2 to my home LAN. Unlike every other computer I've added, this one
is hidden to other computers on the LAN and even to itself when looking at
the Network Neighborhood. I can access it by running //ComputerName but when
I walk up the folders in the Explorer window that opens and properly shows
the shared folder, when I get to the workgroup I can't see the folder up from
which I just came.

Sharing is set to allow others to modify files. Windows Firewall allows
file sharing. There is no $ in any name, and to be sure I renamed the
computer, and renamed the workgroup on all the computers on the LAN.

I have C:\ (root) shared, also a folder on C and also another drive that
corresponds to a media reader slot, but none of them, nor the computer, show
up.

How can I unhide the computer?
