Default Unwanted Folders Continually Reappearing WXP SP2


My HDs are showing on each computer but there's an aditional 10 folders from
my Notebook, that I'm unable to get rid of in the Notebook and the Desktop,
My Network Places.
These appear both in Workgroup\Notebook and are listed after Web Client
Network along with the HDs.

I've deleted, using File, Name of Folder, Delete and Right click entry,
delete, the entries in WExplorer and deleted them at the same time in the
registry, HKEY_Current_Users and HKEY_Users, WorkgroupCrawler - in both
computers - at least a dozen times - they reappear on both computers in
WExplorer, and the registry within minutes.

For the last three days, I've had the Hard Drives set to Share and made sure
there aren't any folders set to Share - all folders on the HDs on both
computers are set to Not Sharing.
Unfortunately I didn't do this initially which I presume, is the cause of
these excessive individual folder entries.

I'm told the only solution is to format or learn to live with the mess. Any
and all suggestions will be most appreciated. Wireless DSL
