Re: How to delete a network place?



Actually, I don't care about MSHOME per se. What I want is to set up a new,
working home network and would like to take MSHOME out of the way. The
MSHOME and new network are for the same computers using the same router etc.
My concern is they will interfere with each other... Is my concern valid?
Furthermore, if the second network is not working, then I'd like to set up
the third etc. How many bad (not working) networks could I have without
burdening my system?

I know (I think I know) how to add a network place. As a matter of fact
I
created two. Neither works... Now I'd like to remove (delete) these

places, but could not find any way how to do so...
May someone please give me step-by-step instructions or direct me to a
manual on the Net?
I'll appreciate your help.

In My Network Places, right-click the undesired entry, then click
Delete in the menu that appears.

Steve,
thanks for your suggestion. Sure, it works fine. However, what I would
like
to do is to delete MSHOME in My Network Places > Entire Network >
Microsoft
Windows Network. When I right click on it, there is no option to Delete...
I'd like to delete it before building a new network. May you suggest how
to
remove this MSHOME?
Regards,
Ilya

You're welcome, Ilya. MSHOME is a workgroup name, and there's no
explicit way to delete a workgroup name.

If you changed the workgroup name on all of the computers to something
else, MSHOME might go away eventually.

Why do you want to delete MSHOME? It wouldn't make your network work
any better.
