Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

I have tried some solutions that a Google search offered but none them helped or worked.

Just before I lose it completely and re-install Win7 out of spite, does anyone have any other ideas? :(

Thanks.

start up in safe mode (keep pressing F8 during start up) and then try removing it

Not really the best solution but yes. I'm considering a NAS :)

have you tried uninstalling the nic and reinstalling it it may ask you to join a group just skip it. Often when you do this it creates hidden lans so the original one is lan 1 the new one is lan 2 and therefore tries to create a new group

make sure you have driver disc or new drivers just in case but it should just find it

I haven't but it didn't the first time :)

Re: Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

there is a difference between disabling and uninstalling though

Re: Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

No, I mean when I first installed the NIC driver after installing Win7.

everytime windows 7 connects to a new network it is mean't to offer group selections

Re: Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

1. Disable and stop the following services: HomeGroup Listener, HomeGroup Provider

2. Go to the following location and rename the file:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Ro aming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

3. Right click on the file and rename the file to idstore.old

4. Restart pc

5. set HomeGroup Listener, HomeGroup Provider to automatic

6. Restart PC

7. Try to leave homegroup

Done it. Didn't help. Might have another go though; just in case.

That said, I will probably end-up re-installing anyway. If nothing else it will get rid of all the extraneous crap I've installed and forgotten about :D

Remove it from the current workgroup - create a new one with a gash name...and then change it back it you wish.
