Servers don't appear in Windows Explorer

[GlenJohnson]

Anybody ever have this problem. When I go into network neighborhood/entire netork/domain/ and not have servers show up. I have one that's there, and I can type the other servers in the browser bar and they show up? This causes problems when I'm using app's that make you browse and don't allow you to type in the server name. Strange. Have to use mappings, but I don't like this. Thanks. Glen A. Johnson

Here's how to hide a server from the browse list:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Name: Hidden
Data Type: dword
Value: 00000001

I'm pretty sure if you change the value to 0 the server will show up.
