    Block netbios (i think, not 100% sure on this one), or shut off the mac, its just windows auto searching out other machines in your network to be helpful.

    Hi

    Holiday season so depends who's awake fully or not still food/boozed up!

    As for your question and I don't have an XP box or VM with XP on at present to test this one but check for a folder called C:\Documents and Settings\[yourusername]\NetHood and what is in there?, may need to be logged in as admin and also unhide all files and folders.

    Thank you for the reply !
    Attached is what I see (not logged in as admin) at the ref folder/s.
    The typical folder setting is 'unhide' all, including system files.
    Not sure what to look for in ref folder/s.
    Thoughts ?
