I have a customer who deleted the Network Neighborhood
stuff from the registry and now I can't get the computer to
network to another computer. Anyone know how to get
Network Neighborhood back on the desktop?

Try these steps, in order. If one doesn't fix the problem, go on to
the next one:

1. 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.

2. Go to Control Panel | Network. Remove Client for Microsoft
Networks if it's present. Then add Client for Microsoft Networks.
Reboot.

3. 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

Delete the value named "NoNetHood". Reboot.
