My Network Places display

[jona]

Hi all,

In windows explorer, I don't want to see Entire network, MS Terminal
Services, Web Client Network or any other possible network places.
All I'd like displayed is the name of my workgroup which expands to
whichever local machine is currently connected. Period. Is there a way
to do this ?

TIA
Jona

No. But there is a workaround available:
Open the My Network Places window and navigate to Entire Network >
Microsoft Windows Network > {workgroup name}.
Open another window with My Network Places. Now drag the icons for
your remote computers from the first window to the second. This will
create shortcuts to the machines on the upmost level of My Network
Places.

Thanks - that is *exactly* what I wanted to achieve.
