I would like for my Windows XP Pro laptop to be able to join a Windows
domain, but not have the laptop show up in the computer list in network
neighborhood.

So far, I haven't been able to find instructions (that work) on how to do
this.

I did find a few posts that talk about modifying a setting in the registry,
but that method did not work for me.

The machine is not sharing any files. I'd like to remove it from the list
of machines just to make sure that it is less of a target for a hack
attempt.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution for this?

Tony
