Vista Windows Explorer display of Entire Network computers

Under XP when I clicked on Entire Networks.Microsoft Windows networks I got a
display tree that showed all the available domains and workgroups. When I
tired the same thing in Vista, I just get all the computers, how can I get
them grouped by domain/workgroup? Maybe this is now so obvious that I missed
it, so pardon...
thanks.

If you select Network in the explorer tree (or click on the Network
desktop icon) those groupings and others are available as headings in
the right hand pane. You can sort by these or use right click to choose
a sort and/or group.
