Hiding Servers from the Browser List

If you have a secure server or workstation you wish to hide from the general browser list, add this registry setting.
To hide a server from the browser, edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Add value "Hidden" (REG_DWORD) and set it to "1".
Reboot the server. It may take up to ?¢ hour for the server to disappear from the browse lists.
(Same result can be acheived by executing NET CONFIG SERVER /HIDDEN:YES on the workstation.)

Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
Value Name: Hidden
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: (0=disable, 1=enable)
