Re: MyNetworkPlaces/EntireNetwork/MicrosoftWindowsNetwork/MUSTDELETESH

The only way to get "rid" of the workgroup name you don't want him to see is
to shut down and restart all computers on the network at the same time, or
wait a while and the workgroup name will vanish on its own as long as you
don't re-introduce the foreign computer again.
