    Could somebody please tell me how to remove that eye sore from my desktop? I've even gone as far as turning the services off and restarting and it's still there!

    got this from internet

    This worked for me win 7 - 64 bit home premium

    1) Drive to "Folder Options"
    2) Click "View"
    3) Scroll down to "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)" it must be checked
    4) Un-Check the Check -box
    5) Click "Apply"......the Icon will be removed from your desktop
    6) Re-Check the Check-box .....the icon will not be back

    I've already seen that and that didn't work either. I've also seen where that thing is a service and even though I've got it turned off it's STILL there!

    right click on the desktop, go to personalize, then change desktop icons, it might be in there. I dont use homegroups so ive never had an icon for it
