Re: How do I delete a PC from a Workgroup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You can't readily prevent a computer from accessing any particular workgroup
if on the same subnet. Do the computers with the shares run XP Pro or Home
(or other OS)? If Pro there are ways of addressing this with NTFS
permissions.

Is there a reason for this PC to remain connected to your network? Is it a
case of wanting it to have Internet access only? If so, will advise father.
