Some tips on how to use your Internet neighbors

1. Rapid access to different working groups

I believe that there are a lot of working groups in the larger companies so that when we visit colleagues in the same workgroup, we are going to double click on the desktop "Network Neighborhood" → "The entire web" → "All content" → "Microsoft Windows network", and then find the workgroup where your colleagues are located. Last to be able to find. There are more steps, in fact, when we go to the Microsoft Windows network, right click on the Microsoft Windows Network project and select the Create Shortcut command, which creates a shortcut on the desktop. The next time you want to access a different workgroup colleague, just double-click the shortcut.

2. Be careful not to delete files easily

Users who use Windows are not unfamiliar with the Recycle Bin, which gives us a dose of "regret medicine". Many of our mistakenly deleted files are found in it. However, we should note that in the online neighborhood of the shared folder, we can not casually delete files, because the author of the test, found that the deleted file will not be in the folder owner's system recycling station will not be in your Recycle Bin, that is, completely deleted! So be careful when you delete files from your Network Neighborhood! Of course, in order to prevent misoperation, do not give each other open write permission or only write permission open to the designated user is a good choice.

3. Fast access to non-domain colleagues

Some big companies have different working groups, and a lot of friends in the workgroup, and we want to visit them. Typically, you select a workgroup from the Microsoft Windows network and then select the appropriate friends. In fact, there is absolutely no need to be so troublesome! If we know the name of a colleague's computer, just type in the Address bar of the Explorer or Internet Explorer plus the name of a colleague's computer (which may, of course, require you to enter a username and password, for security reasons). If the author wants to visit John's machine, and he and I are not in the same workgroup, I just enter John in the address bar of the Explorer or Internet Explorer, and enter the username and password to access it directly. Of course, if you want to quickly access other people just enter the name can be very convenient.

4. Quick access to folders already accessed

We know that in the Windows Documentation folder, we will store the files we have visited recently. Well, you know what? The folders of the network Places you have recently visited will be placed in your Network Places folder so that if you want to when you visit a recently visited colleague's folder, just double-click the "Network Neighborhood" icon on your desktop to see a shortcut like "xxx above xxx" on it. To enter not directly double-click it!

5. Quickly install network printer

Although printers are cheaper, there is a printer on everyone's computer that may not be a reality in some places for the time being. As a result, you sometimes have to use a network printer to print. In general, we want to install network printers on this machine, all are click "Start" → "settings" → "printer", then double-click "Add Printer", and then step into the drive disk to install the network printer. In fact, this is not necessary, as long as we let each other share the network printer, then open the folder from the network place where the other printer is located, click start → settings → printers, open the Printers folder on this computer, and then use the mouse to drag the other's network printer with the right mouse button to the local Printers folder and select Install from the Slide menu, Windows will install the drivers for your network printer in a few moments. You will be able to select the printer to print the network after printing, quite convenient, hehe! Of course, this example is to install the printer as an example, for other devices, I think as long as colleagues open sharing, installation and use should be the same.

6. View your own shared directory

When you share a lot of folders with users on your local area network, you may not know what folders you have shared with them for a long time. If you open the folder by memory or in turn, it is obviously very troublesome. In fact, we just click the "start" → "run" command, then enter "CMD" to start the command prompt, and then enter the "net share" command at the command prompt, and then a list of all your shared directories will be displayed, so you can be aware of, of course, You can also choose whether to close them or continue sharing.

7, stealth in the network of neighbors

If you don't want your co-workers to see you through "Network Neighborhood," You can click "Start" → "Run" and enter "regedit" to open Registry Editor and find [Hkey_local_ Machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetserviceslanmanserverparameters], creates a new hidden double byte value in the right pane, setting its value to 1. Then restart the computer, and after a while you will disappear from the list of Network Places.

Note: However, someone who enters your name on the address bar will still be able to access you (see the 3rd tip above).

8. Permanent shutdown management with disk sharing

By default, even if we select "Do not share this folder" in the Shared tab of drive properties, you can delete managed disk shares such as "C $" and "d$", but it will be built again after you reboot. If, for security purposes, we want to turn off this feature, we can open Registry Editor and navigate to [Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetserviceslanmanserverparamaters]. Then create a double-byte value named "AutoShareWks" in the right pane, set it to 0 to turn off the managed disk share, or open if set to 1.

9. Faster access to Windows 98 computers

As a general experience, when Windows 2000 computers access Windows 98 computers on a local area network, it takes a long time (sometimes 30 seconds) to open each other's computer, but it only happens when you open the other computer name. Therefore, when we access Windows 98 computers from a Windows 2000 computer, you can click the start → Run command, and then enter the computer name share file name in the Run window, and then open the other's directory directly after entering, so that the speed becomes very fast. But this method is not a radical solution, to solve, we can click the "start" → "Run" command, enter "regedt32" Open Registry Editor, in Registry Editor to find [Hkey_local_ Machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrent Versionexplorerremotecomputernamespace]. Found under this branch, for insurance purposes, the user can back up the key, then delete the key, close Registry Editor, even without restarting the computer handy can be effective. Now, double-click the machine that uses Windows 98 colleagues to try, is the delay problem gone?

Note: Regedt32 is an enhanced version of Regedit in Windows 2000 that provides more powerful functionality than Regedit, and it is required to modify some key values of the registry.
