I think I read an article on how to disable network neighborhood on a windows workstation. But just can find it anymore. I have a NT 4.0 server with 20 workstations, most of which of Windows 98. I want to prevent any user from browsing other workstations in the network neighborhood. Can any one point me to the right article or to a right direction?

You can use Windows Policy Editor to disable Network Neighborhood; the control panel; printers; whatever you want your users not to have access to.

If you simply want Network Neighborhood to appear empty on a Windows 98 PC, all you have to do is change the Workgroup name on the client to a unique name. The only thing the client will then see is itself. However, they will still be able to NET USE if they know a specific share name, or do a Start -> Find -> Computer if they know the specific name of a computer.
