I just tried it myself cause I really don't need it either, and it works fine - but I had to reboot for change to take effect: How to delete the Network Neighborhood Icon . Don't attempt unless you have some experience using regedit.

I've never used regedit. It looks complicated. Some guy must have seen my message and he e-mailed this to me: "Right click once on the NN-icon/Properties/Highlight and remove each item in Network/Configuration....click ok and re-boot. No more icon and no more logon screen---" I had already wondered about doing that, but when I looked in Properties for the NN icon, there are (5) things in there that I don't know what they are: 1:Client for Microsoft Networks; 2:Compac Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel WOL UTP Controller; 3:Dial-Up Adapter; 4:TCP/IP -> Compac Netelligent 10/100 etc.; 5: TCP/PI -> Dial-Up Adapter. If I remove all these things without knowing their purpose .... well, that seems sort of crazy. By the way, thanks so much for pointing me to the Login Screen section -- that worked like a charm and I no longer have that annoyance! :) On Friday, November 2, 2001 at 5:45 pm, jdip wrote: >Here's a simple registry tweak that will remove net icon.

(downloaded from this site). Look under 'Desktop' and uncheck 'Network Neighborhood'. Look under 'Logon' and follow instructions to eliminate logon box.
