Hi.  I have a workgroup setup with XP Pro.  One of the computers that
belonged to the network is gone, but it still shows up as a member of the
workgroup.  How do I remove the listing from the workgroup?

The computer entry in Entire Network will dissapear in due course.
There's no explicit way to delete it, other than by re-booting the master
browser.

Entries in My NetworkPlaces which point to shared folders on the old machine
are static shotrcuts, and you can just delete them by r-click | delete.
