stop WinXP from auto installing printers?

[Brad Schmitz]

Our WinXP machines are auto finding and installing all network printers. How
can I turn that feature off. I have people printing to printers they have no
idea where they're at. Or they just have too many printers to choose from
and don't know which one to choose.

It will stop "after the Automatically search for network folders and
printers check box is cleared in the Folder Options dialog box in My Network
Places" -

Thanks Ken,
That's what I needed to know.
