I'm trying to remove the network neighborhood icon from desktop, but when I go to registry to set NoNetHood value to 1 I am missing a folder. This is where I'm trying to get to, but I am missing the "policies" folder between CurrentVersion and Explorer. What's the deal? Thanks
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Hi, this is compliments of www.we-compute.com
In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If the Policies or Explorer keys are missing, create them by right-clicking on the previous key, selecting New and Key, and giving the new keys their proper names.
Click on the Explorer key to view its values in the right pane. If there is not a value named NoNetHood in the right pane, create it by right-clicking on the Explorer key, selecting New and DWORD Value. In the right pane, NoNetHood should have a value data of 0x00000000 (0) next to it. Double-click on NoNetHood and a dialogue box will appear allowing you to edit the DWORD value. In the Value Data space should be a single zero. Change it to a 1 and click on OK. Now the data figure beside NoNetHood should be 0x00000001 (1).
Close the Registry, reboot and you've left the hood.
Good luck and ciao,
Kevin
