Hi,How can i hide my computer name in network places? I want nobody can see my computer form my network places, only those have my IP and permission can connect to my share files.thanks

From a command prompt you can;net config server /hiddento hide the pc name from others. Doing so from the command line will disable the server service auto tuning feature. Better to navigate to;HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameterscreate a Reg_Binary value named"Hidden"set it's value to 1How to Hide the Server's Computer Name from Other Computers in the Domainhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/265284Server service configuration and tuninghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/128167Regards, Dave Patrick ....
