Can't get Network Neighbourhood to show on Desktop

Hi,

I'm trying to get Network Neighbourhood to show on desktop. I've removed
and added Microsoft for Network, File and Print Sharing. TCP/IP and netbeui
have been removed and re-added. Communications has been removed and added
and still I can't get Network Neighbourhood to show!

Can someone help! Anything else I should look into?

Thanks

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 this 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".

Thanks,

Removing Client for MS Networks worked. However, this was the third time
that I had removed it and then re-installed it. Don't know why it would do
that.

Anyway, all is fine now. Thanks for the pointer.
