how to delete a folder in my network places

[Guest]

I'm connected to a workgroup with about 12 members. When I go to my network
places a whole list of folders pop up from each computer's shared folders.
The list has become quite big and I would like to remove some folders. Is
there a way?

You can right-click and delete an undesired folder.

However, it might come back. By default, Windows XP automatically
searches for shared folders and adds them to My Network Places.

To prevent that, click Tools > Folder Options > View, and un-check the
first box under Advanced Settings.
