I have a number of devices on my network: some PC's, servers, and printers. When using Windows Explorer to view my network devices are separated into two categories:

  • Computer (Number of devices)
  • Printers (Number of devices)

How can I change the Categories definition of my servers so that they are listed in their own category and not mixed in with the PC's?

For example:

  • Computer (Number of devices)
  • Server (Number of devices)
  • Printers (Number of devices)

  • Essentially each device talks with your computer using a specific network protocol. Depending on that protocol and what information is exchanged the Windows explorer categorizes the devices.

  • I am presuming that the device identifies itself using LLT (Link Layer Topology) therefore I am hoping that the Categories value of Computer in this case is stored somewhere in the registry. Does anyone know where this categories value is stored?
