Hello,
I'm not sure on how to delete multiple workgroup under my network places.
I'm not sure how it got there...but there is no one in my network that
connected to the domain or used domain resources. It has like 12 other
workgroup with my network being one of them. Is this worrysome? Please
advise.

Les,
If you see entries in My Network Places, and they represent active computers
that you don't know about, connected to your network, then you should find out
why they are on your network.
If they are computers that you know about, that you simply aren't connected to
for some reason, then they aren't something to worry about. If they are
shortcuts that you added, you can delete them. If not, they will go away on
their own.
If this is somebody else's network, then you should make sure that your computer
is properly protected, and not worry about the other networks.
