I've just started setting up a new computer (so this might be first
question
of many...)
When Windows XP first booted it assigned the computer to the default
workgroup called "Workgroup". Now I've assigned it to the workgroup for my
local network and it connects ok, but in Explorer everytime I go to Entire
Network\Microsoft Windows Network the default "Workgroup" is still there
along with the real workgroup I want to use.
How do I get rid of it?
Why bother? In spite of what many believe, it will work with your local
network regardless of what workgroup name you pick. I don't think I have 2
PCs on my home network with the same workgroup name (5 at present).
