Ever have the experience where you want to share folders, but you do not want your computer to be displayed in the "Network Neighbourhood"? Well, there is a way, at least for people using Windows XP Professional. Just do the following steps:
- Goto Start > Run and type cmd (Command prompt)
- Type net config server /hidden:yes
To re-enable it, type
net config server /hidden:no instead. Make sure you're using the Administrator role.
That's it... People can still directly access your computer by using \\{computer name}
. This just prevents your computer from being listed. It's like having an unlisted number. :)
