Hiding network places on desktop.
We have recently upgraded to a Win2K domain. Our Win2K clients are now able to see their Network Places icon on their desktops. I need to hide this and make sure that they don't have access to directory resources. I know this is probably pretty easy. Thanks in advance!
You can also use TweakUI from Microsoft.

Hi,
What do you mean about "Their Network Places" ?
To hide a share add a $ sign at the end of the name of the share.
To hide a computer type the following on each computer :
net config server /hidden:yes

Longbow,
Right, I know that you can hide a specific computer but I don't want the Network Places (or Neighborhood) to be available to anyone but Admins.
ST Steve,
TweakUI doesn't allow you to change setting remotely right? I would have to install it on each workstation?
Sorry it took so long to respond. I was out last week.
Thanks for the help!!!
