Delete icons from network groups

[mam]

Hi,

Have networked my main PC,laptop and netbook.All show their public folders on the other machines.

The only problem is that Vista shows two networked icons/PC's which are no longer on the same network/workgroup.I have tried to delete these two icons,but there is no delete in the properties.

How can these two dead icons be removed so only the current workgroup PC's are listed.

I don't have these problem with my main PC and the netbook,both run XP.

Cheers

All PC's are on the same network using the same workgroup

This must be a tough one...... ;-)

Hmm interesting, refreshing the network locations? Are they mapped network drives?

[mam]

Hi snakedoc,none of the network drives are mapped,I have refreshed the list many times,they still insist on staying .

Like I said its just Vista,the list of reasons I hate Vista is growing

Thanks for the help

try going to the command prompt, type in "net computer", and follow the instructions,

tbh, i'd just live with it :)

could always try an ipconfig /flushdns.

dont know if that will help you or not. (try deleting history and clearing cookies)

I had this issue last week with a couple of shared folders that were no longer in existance, ended up having re-create them so it would let me delete the refrence as I just couldn't get rid of them any other way :(
