Default How do I remove extra computer names from the network folder?

Hi, I have what looks like a duplicate entry under my networks folder. How
do I delete one of them?

comp1 and comp1-oc (the -OC was added when I reset my workgroup name.)

they both contain the same shared folder information. I want to delet
comp1-oc and just have comp1 (the current name for the computer) showing.

Thanks for any help with this.

Given time it will go away by itself. If it really bothers you, shut down
all the computers on your network and then re-start them and it will
immediately go away.

This is produced by One Care if you set up printer sharing through One
Care.
I believe you can get rid of it by removing the printer sharing in One
Care and setting it up 'manually'.
Or you could just ignore it.

Default Thanks for the answer!

Thanks for your help on this. I cleared the printer sharing and the "extra"
network names disappeared.

You're welcome, thanks for letting us know.
I've just found that media sharing behaves similarly.
