Remove computer from my network places.

We have some outside vendors that have plugged into the network. They have
left but when you go into My Netwotk places there workgroups still show up.
How can I remove these. I thought it would refresh automatically.

I should mention that it has been months since they were here. Thanks.

What happens when you right-click the icon for the foreign workgroups
and choose "Delete"?

There is no delete option. Only open, explore, properties.

Then I'm sorry but I don't know. Usually foreign workgroups will go away
after a while, but you say it has been months. Maybe you'll have better
luck posting in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web newsgroup.

I'm sorry I was unable to answer you.

If you right click within the "My Shared Places" window and select
"Arrange Icons By" -> "Computer" then delete all the files shown as
being shared by the redundant vendor then Windows XP SHOULD auto delete
the reference to that vendor.Hope this may help.
