How to remove network list showing under 'This PC'

I see a lot of issues with people who want to turn on network sharing features, but I want the opposite. Until a week or two ago I don't have this problem, but a week or two, my computer began to pick up all of the devices on my network. I'm at a University, so there are a lot of computers to detect. It's frustrating, because 'My PC' page and the sidebar is now desperately crowded and it's a pain to sort the devices on the sidebar to find my pictures or my videos, etc. Not to mention that I would not want to risk someone remote access to my computer.

If there is no way to turn it off, is there a way at least a way to make the hidden network locations? I posted a picture to try to illustrate the problem. Red is oriented to the things I want to get rid of.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. I will certainly help you in this matter.

I suggest you to check if you are facing the same question in another user account.

If you create the new user account, nothing will be lost, is that the thing that it would be in the other account that you are currently using. However create new user account is a diagnostic stage, if everything works well in the new user account, we can easily move the files and programs for the new user account.

So, for now please try to create the new user account from Microsoft as an administrator from the link provided below. Make sure that you follow the steps mentioned under create a Microsoft account and get back to us with the State, we will be happy to help you.

Thank you

  • I found the show/hide button toolbars, but you should know how to REMOVE toolbars that appear on this list?

    I found the show/hide button toolbars, but you should know how to REMOVE toolbars that appear on this list?

    Is attached a screenshot of my screen with the context menu to show/hide tabs. I want to delete some of them and let others. Please help me to know how. Thank you!

    Hmm, maybe this "one-time" imported into the new preference? Try this:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the cust and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference of browser.uiCustomization.state and the content must be highlighted in a small dialog box.

    (4) copy the whole line and paste it into Notepad and save it as a backup.

    (5) in Firefox, click on the button '3-bar' menu > developer > Notepad. Remove the comment that appears and paste data preferably, that must appear on a long line. Click on the "Pretty Print" button to make it more readable.

    So I hope that you can spot the extra toolbars and change them out, taking care to preserve the commas between the elements.

    I don't have the extra toolbars in mine, but I copied and pasted back this spaced format and Firefox was able to handle it well. I went into customize and moved a button, and when I left, Firefox has rewritten the preference set as a single line. Assuming that yours works fine, then you can get rid of the backup from step (4).

  • "How to remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools' - &#62;"Scan Routing? '"

    My question is very simple: I believe!  How can I remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools'-> 'Scan routing?  This really should not be so dang hard when I do an install, and regedit, I looked at most of the places are to get rid of any residue.  However, when I get back in Windows FAX and Scan, inevitiably I see printers / scanners way back when I bought this laptop.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system.

    I think I'll try the following:

    Uninstall Norton & reboot

    Reinstall your HP printer using the latest version of the full software features on HP site, preferably in the usb connection.

    Test the printer or use HP diagnostics to test its operation, then uninstall HP printing via programs & features software.

    Then use the HP utility to completely re - move

  • How to remove a list of form in the Studio (12,2)?

    I clean a part of my workspaces and to delete some lists of form are no longer used.  How I would delete these from the lib DEV? I changed my user ID to allow full access to resources list forms but may not know how to remove the unused list.  If I order list form I can save, save as, check, unlock, drop, etc... but the option 'Delete' is registered but not at my disposal.

    On the same topic, how I would remove the same resource list of shape (or any resource by the way) that was promoted to production?

    Use the widget library to locate items to remove. Select the item in the grid, and then access the properties pane. There will be a big red X button - click to remove the resource.

    Do the same thing in production, you must have access to library Studio.

    An alternative is to use the LBYPROC command line utility in both cases. You must always have the INI files are configured in order to achieve the appropriate libraries. You can also use Studio to create the script library file to identify the resource (s) to delete, and then save the script. You can use the script recorded with LBYPROC in other environments. This is useful if your Studio deployment does not have access to other environments.
