check your startup folder maybe an exe file is set to launch during startup. Also check your registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RUN |RUNOnce| RUN Services. Carefully check all entries regarding the program that launch during startup, you can then delete this entry, you may also check: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

almost forgot, you may run MSCONFIG, check all entries there, you can then disable the program that launch during startup

Try mapping the shared folder you want to access. Right click the MyComputer>Map Network Drive, on the dialog box click Connect Using A Different UserName, Enter the username of the computer where the shared folder located. Browse the shared folder you want to map, if you can't browse, use UNC path instead. Click finish...

Works for me in several situations...hope this works for you, too...

I got same problem too, I already read this topic over and over again hoping that anybody have the solution. Problem like <Workgroup Name> is not accessible.....but can access the shares on other computer by mapping drives. Until, when trying to figure out why, I noticed that Computer Browser in the Services is Automatic in the StartUp Type, but it is not running, 5 of my computers have same situation. I try to run the service, restart the computer but end up same situation. So I click on the Recovery Tab of Computer Browser Service & in the failure, I choose Restart Service instead of Take No Action. I re-run the the Network Configuration Wizard, reboot, disable the firewall....and everything is fine now. I've run this procedure on all of my 6 workstation,,,,Now....everything is fine I can now browse my Network with my Network Places, View Workgroup Computers....

If you can browse the computers but cannot access the shares/directory on it, try the procedure of SirGawain
