Working Group has missed! How can I remove the invader computer?

I have a wireless home network connected through a Linksys wireless router.  A Vista, a XP laptop.  When my computer slowed last week I check the network and discovered another computer and multimedia device has been installed in my workgroup.  I searched all the help files without finding a way to remove them.  Can anyone help - I am desperate because I had all my personal and financial files set to 'share' so that my husband could access it from her computer!

Hi JanetGodard,

You can change the workgroup name, but do not forget to change the WORK group for all computers that you want on this network.

For more information, consult the following link:

Join or create a workgroup

  • How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

    Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

    I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

    I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

    How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

    It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

    I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

    I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

    Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

    I look forward to your reply.

    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • How can I remove the filter "ignore on all devices?

    Hello, I have a right-click on an alert "authentication failure" and choose the options "ignore on all devices.
    It works very well - I don't see OME alerts. But now I would like to return to the original state.
    How can I remove the filter to ignore it?
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can go to manage. Alerts and check the tab action alert to see if the filter has been created there?  If so, you can click on delete or maybe disable.

    or spread with "Shift + click" then delete.

    The reference to bookmarks won't in the details, because it is in the article above.

    You will be perhaps easier to delete bookmarks you don't want in the list of the bookmarks library. As noted in the article to bookmark sorting you can view and sort by additional columns, I recommend installing the extension "Show Parent Folder" link is in the article to bookmark, unfortunately that you can add the column is not sortable, but it provides valuable information.
