    network neighborhood

    OK call me stupid. New to XP, just bought a used Laptop with XP installed. Did a restore so I have only my problems to deal with. Restore went smooth doing a fresh install. Now for the stupid part...I can connect to my lan with no problem through search but I don't see an icon for Network Neighborhood or My Network Places.

    I know I will find it eventually but could you guys speed me in the right direction?

    Right click on the desktop, properties, desktop tab, customize desktop near the bottom. Put a check mark in my network places.

    Thanks guys. And you didn't even call me names! lol Gotta say my first experience with XP using it's new style is like I am in kindergarten and don't know where they keep the crayons.

    You are just a few clicks away from making it resemble W2K if you want to............

    Yea I have found how to make it classic but my objective is to learn as it is so I can help friends and such. They do seem to hide a lot of things here on XP.
