Doing so from the command line will disable the server service auto tuning
feature. Better to navigate to;
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
create a Reg_Binary value named
"Hidden"
set it's value to 1

| A less drastic way is to let the server service run,

|
| Go to a command prompt, and issue the command:
| net config server /hidden:yes
|
| This will stop the periodic ( 12 mins ) browser announcements.
| The machine will drop off the browse list after it misses a couple of

| Note that any shortcuts which are in other PC's 'My Network places' won't

| You need to delete them manually.
| But they won't re-appear.
