To remove the Entire Network icon from Network Neighborhood:

1. Run the registry editor.

2. Open this registry key:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Network

3. Create a DWORD value named "NoEntireNetwork" and set it to 1.

That will stop users from seeing other workgroups in Network
Neighborhood. However, there are other ways of viewing workgroups,
and I don't think it's possible to stop a user from accessing a
computer in another workgroup if he/she already knows the computer's
name.
