Hi Folks,

In 'My Network Places' on Windows XP, the computer's comment is being
displayed ahead of the computer name.

For Example:

Name Comments
File and Print (server1) File and Print
Email (mail1) Email
Domain Controller (DC1) Domain Controller

=== Please forgive the totally unimaginative sample names === :)

Does anyone have a solution or work around to this problem?

It has been suggested to me that I choose to not diplay the 'Comments' field
so that the comments are being displayed only once, instead of twice.

That is hardly a solution. I should have the option to sort by 'Name' or
'Comment'.

This is one change in XP that doesn't make any sense. Any help would be much
appreciated.

TIA,

John
