I'm switching around computers and doing hardware/software changes.. Is there a way I can reset my network/delete it without screwing something up so I can re-do my network once I get my new set-up?..

So there's no way to just reset it all and start from scratch?

But I just want to reset everything... Things I shared between these pc's are going to change, pc 1, will be pc 2, etc, etc..
Can anyone tell me just how to reset this, without all of the hassle?..

Hey there jbrdbr111x,
I apologize on behalf of the forum for the way vk3fcll just treated you.
Lets see if we can work out what you need done.
So if I'm reading this right you want to basically default your network places settings, not your router settings?
You should just be able to rename or delete the previous icons/ settings and then start from scratch.
Could you post up a screen shot of what your looking at?
That would help me get a better grasp of what needs to be done.
Hope this helps,
Bob

Ok, here's one snapshot...
Drive E on computer one will be gone, And basically the other folders on computer 1's will be gone, Computer 2 will be computer 1, and 1 will be 2, but then I will be adding a 3rd computer..
Basically what I'm doing, is building a new computer for computer 1's place, The old Computer 1 will become Computer 2, and The old Computer 2 will become Computer 3..
I am getting ready to clone the drive's for both Computer 1 and 2 as they are being upgraded, but Things I used to need from Computer 2 will all be on Computer 1 as I have a larger drive, and what Computer 2 needed from Computer 1 well it will only need to access the Network printer.. And Computer 3 will be just for back-ups now, so I want to be able to have both Computer 1 & 2 read and write to Computer 3..
lol I hope I haven't lost you.. But yeah that's basically what I'm looking to do, and with the settings on Computer 1 & 2, it was confusing me, so that's why I was wondering how I could just reset both of them and start my project from scratch...

Hey jbrdbr111x,
If my understanding is correct, you should just be able to delete all those. I've never had any use for those features, so mind you I'm not talking from first hand experience here.
However you created them to begin with, so why would you not just be able to delete them and reestablish all of it through "add a network place" and "set up a home or small office"?
I'm sorry I couldn't have been of better help.
I'll try to direct some more knowledgeable members on this topic over here to give you better assistance.

You can just delete those old shares and map new ones and windows will remember the ones you currently use. It shouldn't be any problem what so ever.
Once everything is changed over just go to your computers, click start, then on run, and type in this
\\computername
where as for you it would be \\computer1
Then authenticate and then save the share. It will prompt you for all volumes that are shared, so whatever drive letter they are on, it will map that drive letter.
Then just delete all the old ones. I would probably delete the old ones first.
