RE: NT4 Network Neighborhood

["Jones, Andrew" <andrew.jones () cre-ltd co uk>]

I used to work in a british Secondary school (AKA High School in the US)

With the volume of computers that we used, and the technical ability of some of our students we found the best measure 
was to invoke policy and registry settings based upon groups set up.

These worked well in most cases after a bit of R&D

The key provided by Tim V - DZ is prob the one you are after, but you will need to put it into a hive file for 
implementation by Policy Editor.

Not really,

Add:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network
Name: NoEntireNetwork 
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1 

Change:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoNetConnectDisconnect
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1 Enable
Value: 0 Disable


You may also want to look at 
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoDesktop 
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1


Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Name: HideIcons 
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0

The first one is what you're looking for though.

You have to do that through the Group Policies

Betreff: NT4 Network Neighborhood

Is there a registery hack to remove the Network Neighborhood from an NT4
Workstation Desktop. I'm trying to stop some high school kids playing
around
on the network and this would hopefully stop a couple of them in their
tracks.

Thanks
Simon
