3. Everything in Windows has its own funny icon. 4. If you're new to networking, MS designed My Network Places to make access to other computers easier. Might as well go with it until you can verbalize what you don't like about it, then explain that and maybe we can suggest something that's "better" from your perspective.

In order to share the files between the two computers, using Windows Explorer [Win-E], I navigated to the folder I wanted to share, then, I right clicked and selected "Sharing and Security". Then, I checked the boxes for "Share this folder on network" and "Allow network users to change my file". After doing this I was able to share the files. Now, when I look a "My Network Places" using Windows Explorer, I see "Entire Network", and entries for the various folders on the other computer, some of which no longer exist on the other computer. When I look at the contents of "Entire Network" I see "Microsoft Terminal Services, "Microsoft Windows Network", and "Web Client Network". Under "Microsoft Windows Network", I see my network name, and under the network name, I see lines for the two computers. Under the other computer, I see there remaining shared folders on the other computer. QUESTIONS: 1. How do I get rid of the entities under "My Network Places" that no longer exist? 2. What are the named entries under "My Network Places" for? 3. What does the funny icon before them mean? 4. Is there a better way to share files between the computers?
