Removes computers in the user's workgroup and domain from lists of network resources in Windows Explorer and Network Locations.

If you enable this setting, the system removes the "Computers Near Me" option and the icons representing nearby computers from Network Locations. This setting also removes these icons from the Map Network Drive browser.

This setting does not prevent users from connecting to computers in their workgroup or domain by other commonly used methods, such as typing the share name in the Run dialog box or the Map Network Drive dialog box.

To remove network computers from lists of network resources, use the "No Entire Network in Network Locations" setting.
