There are two ways of going out about this ::::
Tweakui
You can download Tweakui from our downloads section
To install extract the zip. Then right click on the *.inf file and select Install.
Once you've installed TweakUI, select Start-Settings-Control Panel-TweakUI, and click the Desktop tab. Scroll down the list of Special desktop icons and click to remove the tick next to Network Neighborhood. The Network Neighborhood icon should disappear from your desktop almost immediately.
Poledit
The other way is to use the System Policy Editor (poledit.exe), which is on your Windows CD. On the Windows 95 CD it's in the Admin/Apptools/Poledit folder.If you use Windows 98, it's in the tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit folder. Run poledit, and if you are asked to 'Open a Template File', choose admin.adm in the same folder, then click Open. Next, select File-Open Registry and double-click the Local User icon. Navigate down to Local_User-Shell-Restrictions, and click in the checkbox next to Hide Network Neighborhood. Click OK, then select File-Save. Then restart your computer and you'll be networkneighbourhood free
