| Guest | removing a computer from the network in windows vista How do I remove a computer from my home network in vista? I have 3 computers on my network named Study-1, Study-2, and Angela. Now there is one there named Study-1-OC. I have no idea where this came from. It is only a name, no physical computer. Any ideas. -- jl whaley |

| Guest | RE: removing a computer from the network in windows vista If you mean it’s displayed when you go to the Windows Orb (Start) > Network, just right-click the icon/tile and delete it.

| Guest | RE: removing a computer from the network in windows vista These entries in the network for Vista are placed there by OneCare for the Printer Sharing feature. If you are not using this feature and don't plan to, you can disable Printer sharing by opening OneCare, clicking Change Settings, and on the Printer Sharing tab, uncheck the option for "Automatically share all printers connected..." It will probably take a reboot and a refresh of the network to remove the item from the list after this is done. -- Paul "Johnny Whaley" wrote: Quote: > > -- No, I mean it is displayed when I open my network and sharing center > window. > jl whaley > > > "Johnny Whaley" wrote: > Quote: > > How do I remove a computer from my home network in vista?
