Someone might have hidden Network Neighborhood using Tweak UI. Go to
Control Panel. If Tweak UI is present, double click it. On the
Desktop tab, put a check mark in the Network Neighborhood box, click
Apply and OK.
If that doesn't work, go to Control Panel | Network. Remove Client
for Microsoft Networks if it's present. Then add Client for Microsoft
Networks. That should make Network Neighborhood re-appear.
If that doesn't work, there could be a system policy hiding Network
Neighborhood. Run the registry editor, open this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
and delete the value named "NoNetHood".
