want to remove home network

[barbwash1954]

I tried setting up a home network with my desktop and work laptop - both xp.  I changed my mind and decided I shouldn't because I use the laptop to vpn into a client's computer.  I disabled file sharing and did system restore on my desktop and this eliminated the network.  The laptop won't let me do a system restore.  It shows me that the network group will be affected and I tell it ok.  I starts the restore and then says it can't do it because there are no changes.  I have tried 3 different restore points and the same thing happens.  Is there any other way to totally eliminate the network workgroup ?  It shows under Microsoft Windows Network.  Thanks for any help you can give me.  I would really like to get this off before I give it back to the client.

It has probably been remembered under C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Nethood (a hidden folder).  You may also need to change the workgroup (e.g. back to the default "MSHOME").  Right-click "My Computer"; choose "Properties"; go to the Computer Name tab.

And delete all network connections from the "My Network Connections" location.
