Removing F+P sharing ought to stop it appearing in the browse list.
It may take a few minutes for it to update.
You may need to manually delete any automatically-detected share shortcuts which may have appeared.
If you wish to leave F+P sharing enabled, but hide the machine from the browse list,
then go to the command prompt and issue the command :
net config server /hidden:yes
This will stop it making server announcements to the master browser,
and thus cause it to age out of the browse list in due course.
It is then no longer visible in the workgroup.
Good Luck,
Ron
