Start-Control Panel-Services-Computer Browser. Stop the service then change it's properties to Manual.

Sorry, it's a slightly different directory in WinXP:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList and change from Auto to FALSE

Also repeat for CurrentControlSet

Eliminating Browser traffic, elections etc

WinNT / Win2k / WinXP
Stop and disable Server service and Browser Service

Or, only if workstation needs to share printer or files then

Use regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList = REG_SZ = False

Win95

Control Panel \ Network \ File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks Remove

Or, only if workstation needs to share printer or files then

Control Panel \ Network \ File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks \ Properties \ Browse Master \ Disable
