Registry tweak to hide me in My Network Places

[xpmaniac4ever]

Can anyone tell me the registry tweak that hides my computername from others in My Network Places ? So that I become hidden (others don`t see me when they browse the network) I just can`t remember it..

Edit: Already figured it out Thanx anyway

Is it a $ in the end of the name ?

[stangri]

which name?

[XP_2600]

Machine name.

UPDATE: sorry i remember now you can use:

net config server /HIDDEN:{YES | NO}

Which change the Registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters\Hidden

0 mean show

1 mean hide

in case you dont have hidden already create a dowrd value and name it Hidden
