| Unwanted Network Neighbors |
| The nodes that appear directly under My Network Places in Windows 2000 and XP are folder |
| shortcuts, created automatically by the system. You should be able to delete them without causing |
| harm. Before deleting one, however, right-click on it, choose Properties, and verify that the Type |
| field says Folder Shortcut. If so, then go ahead and delete it. You can still access any node on the |
| network through the Entire Network node or the Computers Near Me node. When you do, Windows |
| will re-create the folder shortcut. |
| On your hard drive, each folder shortcut is represented by a folder below C:\Documents and |
| Settings\username\NetHood. In this folder is a file named Target.lnk, which relates the folder |
| shortcut to its associated location on the network. |
