missing network neiborhood

Go to Control Panel >Network and add Client for Microsoft Networks.

OK Network neiborhood is now been renamed.If you go to the start bar navigate the My Network Places. That is the new location. Within network places you can then Do what you need to do by either viewing network connections, setting up a small home office, or viewing workgroup compters on your network... This is the new location, a bit confusing but microsoft always likes to change things on you just when you get used to something else.

In WinXP you have the option to hide or unhide these icons on the desktop. You can unhide and you can set the advanced properties to show "My Network Places" on the desktop if you like.

Right click an empty area of the taskbar, select Properties, Advanced, etc (I don't have XP in front of me right now -- but look for the advanced section and you should fine it).

Right click in blank area of desktop and choose properties. Select the Desktop tab and then select "Customize Desktop" button in bottom left hand corner of dialogue box. In the resulting dialogue box put a check in the My Network Places box and click OK and then Apply and you should be there.
