I know the only way to get XP to display a second Workgroup is by doing a search for a PC name on that particular group, but how do you get that information to stay put? Or do you have to search for a PC every time?

Thanks
Mike

Sometimes they "stick" in "My Network Places" - "Computers Near Me"

98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.

Thanks. Though I don't appear to have 'Computers Near Me' within 'My Network Places'. Is this a feature of XP Home and / or Pro?

Hi,

In XP, if you go above the workgroup level it should show up more than one workgroup icon if there is more than one. (Does for me anyway)
