windows xp network neighbourhood and printer problem

[Jason Huang]

Hi,

In my Windows XP SP2, network neighborhood and printers, it has many
connections.
How do I let those connection cache not show on the explorer?
Thanks for help.

In Windows Explorer, click Tools\Folder Options
click the view tab, the first option might remove
them.

You can right-click and delete undesired items in My Network Places
and in the Printers and Faxes folder.

To prevent the computer from automatically finding shared disks,
folders, and printers, follow these steps in My Network Places:

1. Click Tools.
2. Click Folder Options.
3. Click View.
4. Un-check "Automatically search for network folders and printers".
5. Click OK.
