Computer Browser Description:
Computer Browser is a service process in Windows 2003. Maintains a list of updates to computers on the network and provides the list to the computer for specified browsing. If the service is stopped, the list will not be updated or maintained. If the service is disabled, any services that are directly dependent on this service will fail to start. The Computer Browser service is primarily used to maintain an up-to-date list of computers in the Network Neighborhood, as well as other network devices that use the NetBIOS protocol. "My Network Places" is what this is about, and if your "My Network Neighborhood" doesn't display properly, it's likely that the service isn't turned on. For this service, it is recommended that users in the LAN do not shut down, otherwise it will affect the normal use.
