I tried setting up a home network with my desktop and work laptop - both xp. I changed my MIND and decided I shouldn't because I use the laptop to vpn into a client's computer. I disabled file sharing and did system restore on my desktop and this eliminated the network. The laptop won't let me do a system restore. It shows me that the network group will be affected and I tell it ok. I starts the restore and then says it can't do it because there are no CHANGES. I have tried 3 different restore points and the same thing happens. Is there any other way to totally eliminate the network workgroup ? It shows under Microsoft Windows Network. THANKS for any help you can give me. I would really like to get this off before I give it BACK to the client.It has probably been remembered under C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Nethood (a hidden folder). You may also need to change the workgroup (e.g. back to the default "MSHOME"). Right-click "My Computer"; choose "Properties"; go to the Computer NAME tab.And delete all network connections from the "My Network Connections" location.
