• How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?

  How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8

  I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.

  However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...

  Question about this community newsletter is:

  (Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?

  Answer:

  1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
  Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.

  2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window.  A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.

  3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked.  Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.

  4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop.  Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.

  And your all set.  That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again.  Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.

  On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army.  Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.

• Remove the homegroup on my desktop icon

  Original title: trouble Homegroupe icon.

  I restarted my computer then I suddenly had this "homegroupe" icon on my desktop (which I never had before) and I was wondering how I can remove it from my office without harming my computers registry or what nots?

  Its sorta in the middle of my screen ergo very annoying me now. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this cause I'd rather not use that any means with would eventually harm my pc...

  I had this same problem and was ready to change my registry as stated in another forum; However, I got to run through a much simpler way to solve the problem.  Simply push the Start button on your computer and hold the button until the computer turns off.  After a few seconds, turn and went the homegroup icon (at least, mine was!).   I don't know if a simple reboot wouldn't work because I've never tried.

• Does anyone know how to remove icons of the homegroups and libraries from the desktop?

  tried to find a way to do it without having to go into the registry...

  Windows7 Home Premium
  After hours to be annoyed... I can't find any other way.

  1 Homegroup icon:
  Open my computer, Control Panel, system and security, administrative tools, services, and then scroll down to: earphone homeGroup and homeGroup provider, disable both. Close, close the session. the icon should be gone when you log back.

  2. the icon libraries: carefully... Please, if there is no experience in the registry for assistance.

  go to: start, run, type: regedit, select the HKEY_Local_Machine key, navigate to the bottom of conclusion: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
  You will see several hexadecimal strings, select each in turn, and the right pane will show you which icon is selected. My icon library was the first chain and showed two lines on the right side of the page, the first being: usersLibraries and the second being: delete the message.

  When you find the string to the appropriate library, create a new folder in your my documents named: registry back up, then highlight the chain on the left, go up to the upper-left corner of the page of the registry and click on file and then export. Save the registry file in your new folder location. I also recorded the two files on the right side of the page and call them what they were called on the page, so I would like to know what they were. (not sure I had to but he doesn't)

  After you save the registry files, you can then remove the string that you selected on the left which in turn, displays the name userLibraries (on the right side of the page).

  Poof it's finally gone! and always available in your saved folder

  Hope this helps

• "View or print the homegroup password" nothing happens.

  I am trying to connect two computers windows 7 (a 64 bit the other 32 bit) using homegroup.  When I try to make the connection to be asked a password, I know ever created.  When I press "View or print the homegroup password" nothing happens. I followed the many threads on this topic and have not found a solution that I can understand. Please explain what to do for a novice in computer science.  Is is possible to connect computers through the network without using the homegroup?  I have a third computer that the operating system is Windows XP.  Thank you.

  Here's what worked for me.

  Go to the folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking

  Remove or rename the idstore file. Click to display the password. This folder is hidden, so you may need to show hidden folders

• Cannot join or leave the homegroup

  I tried to create a homegroup, so that I can use my laptop in another room via an ethernet cable. I wrote the first password, but when I went to 'continue', he said that it was false. I could not leave or join the network. Now I can't access my printer from my PC or laptop. I tried several times the system recovery, but that did not work. I got a new password of grouphome, but it does not, either. Each time I try to leave the grouphome, he says I have to join first, but does not accept the new password, so that I can't reach. If I am not a member, I can't leave. I can't remove the grouphome, either.

  How can I access my printer again? BTW, I use a mouse, not some

  "creep" of something, I don't know what.

• Homegroup asking "Network password" when access to the computers in the homegroup

  I noticed this in the last week or two.  So far, my home group has worked very well.

  I have 2 PC under Windows 7 connected via homegroup, a x 64 final running, the other under Home Premium x 64.  The Home Premium computer is now asked a "network password" then access folders/libraries shared the ultimate computer.  It wasn't a problem before last week.  Until a week ago, I could just click on my homegroup from the Home Premium computer, then click the name of the ultimate computer that appears in the homegroup and finally click on shared folders/libraries and it will open the folder/library.

  Parameters are,

  • Advanced network and sharing Options are all set by default on both including letting Windows HomeGroup connections.
  • Network location is defined on each home.
  • The homegroup password is the same on each.
  • Credential Manager shows [ComputerName] \HomeGroupUser$, correct password and persistence is on each Local computer.
  • The two computers are connected wireless 802.11 g via a Linksys WRT400N router, each using a dynamic IP (DHCP) address.

  Therefore, I can access files/libraries shared the Home Premium to ultimate PC homegroup without being prompted to enter a password for the 'network '.  I can access internet from every computer with no problems.

  I tried to leave the homegroup on each computer, recreated on each homegroup, deleted the files IDStore.sst on each, all to nothing does not.  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, I seem to have perhaps fallen on something that may have solved my problem, at least for now.  This morning, I've renamed the full name of the computer to my Home Premium by removing 1 character of existing name.  Of course, I was invited to restart for the changes to take effect.  I restarted and then on the next opening of the next session, I renamed full name of the computer to my Home Premium to what it was originally.  Once, I have been asked to restart for the changes to take effect.  After the reboot, I clicked on my homegroup, and from there I clicked on my ultimate computer that appears in my homegroup.  To my surprise, the shared library icons have been restored to their default appearance; documents, music, photos and video.  I clicked on each of the four libraries and each opened with full (default read-only) access to the content of each library.  I was not invited to a "network password" this time!

  If renaming the name of my Home Premium computer twice, once to a new name and then again its original name did somehow fix the problem, this means that the share of aid to the full name of the computer had some kind become corrupted the previous week?  This could be the reason for the "Network password" prompt?  In any case, my home group is once more working properly between computers in my Home Premium and Ultimate.  Touch wood.

• Unable to connect the computers to the homegroup.

  I bought and set up a new desktop and laptop at home computer pre-installed with Windows 7 Pro to replace XP.  Without knowing it, I created a different Homegroup for each computer.  They are linked to a Wi - fi network, but I want to share files as well.  How can I create a new, unique group residential for desktop and laptop?  When I try to delete one or other of its residential group so that I can join homegroup of the other computer, I get the message Windows cannot remove the computer from homegroup.

  Please advise... and thanks,

  Ian Malcolm.

  Homegroup makes me crazy. So far the only Windows 7 PC in the House was my laptop, but we just got a new office and I if it would be possible to link to the top in a homegroup, I thought wrong. It's impossible! I created a homegroup on my laptop, it wont let me view or change the password. It also doesn't let me leave the homegroup. I read on some other messages that I should delete idstore.sst however after running a full search of the computer I found there is no file on my computer. Any ideas? Thank you!

• "windows could not remove your homegroup computer.

  When you try to remove the residential group the computers on my home network I get this error message

  "windows could not remove your homegroup computer.

  Help is apreciated

  Hello

  I suggest to follow the steps provided and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus on each machine.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

  Method 2:
  You can also follow these steps and check:
  a. go to the control panel and access the system and security.
  b. go to administrative tools and then double-click Services.
  Locate and stop following 2 services, after that try to leave the homegroup. You can also set the startup type of the services to the people with reduced mobility.
  HomeGroup listener
  HomeGroup provider

• My Documents appears twice in the homegroup to a networked computer.

  The homegroup was created on my computer (MARCO-HP). A second identical computer joined the homegroup and everything works fine. However, on the second computer, the homegroup folder looks exactly as follows:

  Homegroup
  Marco (MARCO-HP)
  Documents
  My Documents (\\MARCO-HP)
  Music
  My music (\\MARCO-HP)
  Photos
  My pictures (\\MARCO-HP)
  Videos
  My videos (\\MARCO-HP)
  My Documents

  Why the "My Documents" folder appears in the 'Documents' folder and again outside it in the folder 'Marco (MARCO-HP)' on this second computer? The content is identical in both files, so I presume that they are pointing to the same location on my computer. How can I remove it?

  Hello

  The first are the libraries, the second is the actual file. If you have the specific folder in addition to the libraries, then this is the cause why you see two folders my documents. You can check if this folder is shared.

  Do not delete the folder, instead of remove the share on this particular file folder.
