Hi,
I have a home network setup for 2 computers, one using Windows XP Pro and
the other using Win XP Home SP1. When I disable sharing a folder on the
network, that folder still appears in "My Network Places". Why is this?
Shouldn't the folder no longer be visible in "My Network Places"?
Also, is it possible to delete a folder shown in "My Network Places" as it
is not even been shared on the computer and don't know why it is being listed
there. Although, when one double clicks that folder, the folder not
accessible error message appears.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance,
Rahul
