Many times when you browser over to My Network Places and view your network neighborhood, you get hung up by the long list of network nodes. It can slow things up quite a bit. However, these nodes are simply folder shortcuts and can therefore be deleted safely. So, to delete the ones you don’t want, first right-click on it and choose Properties. Verify that the Type field says “Folder Shortcut”. If it does, it is safe to delete it. You can still get to it if you want by going to the Entire Network node. If you access on of them, Windows will re-create the shortcut automatically. But, until then, you don’t need to list it and slow things down.
