Time for a bit of ancient history:  XP.

There was a registry hack that made an XP computer invisible on a LAN. You could still access it if you knew the name/IP address, but it would not show up in the network browser. I can't remember what it was, nor do I have it written down anywhere. Reason? I have a hacked install of XP that I've installed in Virtualbox that is invisible. Only after I installed it did I remember that it was hacked that way. I'm running Virtualbox to get a 32 bit version of XP running on my Win7 64 bit system so that I can run a 16 bit application and get data out of it. Yeah, it's PFS: Write again.....

I've tried searching for this hack but it's very slow going as there are thousands of pages on how to make a computer invisible on a wireless network. And the same idiots are making the same lame jokes on all of them....

Anyone remember the invisible registry hack?

Thanks...Steve
