network neighborhood

swordsman30457 · 06-25-2007, 11:24 PM

Hi Guys,(and Gals) I know this is probably a stupid and simple question, but how do I get that bloody network neighborhood icon off of my desktop? I want to say I did it before but I don't remember how, I haven't used win 98 in a while and it is the only legal OS I still have. I know this sounds corny, but I think win 98 isn't so bad. I have it on a modern computer so I guess that's why. Anyway, sorry to babble on, but as always, any help would be greatly appreciated. L8ter

You need to change to windows logon, I think you right click network
neigborhood, properties, pull down window and select windows logon.
Then reboot.

That didn't work, any other suggestions?

Are you going in the right area, Im kinda blurry with win98. Im pretty
sure its in network properties. The setting with the network icon on desk
top should be client for microsoft networks, if my memory is correct.
If you want to get rid of icon you need to go to network properties and
change it to windows logon, not client,,make sure to apply, then ok,
it should require a reboot.....

The Network Neighborhood is an integral part of Windows Networking and as such it is heavily protected against an (accidental ? ) delete. But, there is a solution hidden deep down in the Windows Registry:

Hi all

If you'd rather not edit the Registry, I believe you could have TweakUI (the Win9x version) hide the icon for you [...if I'm remembering right, it's under the TweakUI "desktop" tab = TweakUI should still be free for downloading on the MS download site].

Best of luck

I didn't know the had a version of tweakui for 98, if I had known that I would have used that long ago. Thanks.
