Post subject: I goofed something during install and ended up with multiple computer names Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>installation_setup (more info?)
somehow, during install, I ended up with two Computer Names listings in
'Network and
sharing' that are 'almost identical'
And I think that's what's hindering my ability to network easily with my XP
machine.
(I only have one way file transfers, Vista -> XP)
In 'View computers and devices'
I have :
MEDIA
MEDIA2-PC-OC
In both I have nearly duplicate drives
Media shows drives of
c (lower case)
Medea (C) 'mispelled '
Media (C) 'correctly spelled '
In MEDIA2-PC-OC
I have the same drives as listed above
I am the only user.
How do I clean this installation mess up?
I wish to keep it simple and clean and want to only see
MEDIA
and inside MEDIA I only want to see the correctly spelled drive of
Media (C)

xxxx-OC is created by Microsoft's One Care (so I have read elsewhere, I
don't have it so cannot confirm that).

I removed Once Care and the 'computer' still exists.
Any Idea on how to delete it?
