Steve, If you want to find any registry key, change the setting using the normal GUI wizard, while running Regmon (free) from SysInternals. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/essential-tools-for-desktop-and.html#Regmon> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/essential-tools-for-desktop-and.html#Regmon In this case, you'll find quite a few registry values involved. I changed that setting, and Regmon identified 85 registry operations.

Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View tab; Un-Check 'Automatically search for network folders and printers'. If you need to do it via the registry, google for 'XP netcrawler registry'. There is a value called NoNetCrawling, but I can't remember exactly where. HKCU or HKLM\windows\current version\explorer\advanced, I think.
