Do not display current domain or workgroup in Network Neighborhood.
Workgroup or domain members can be hidden from Network Neighborhood. It makes for a abbreviated display if there are no servers you want to browse to using Network Neighborhood. It does not disable access, only Network Neighborhood listing.

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network
Name: NoWorkgroupContents
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
