Q. "The Network Neighborhood icon is missing from ur win 98 computer ??? "
A. The Network Neighborhood feature can disappear from a Windows computer for several reasons. Even in cases when Windows networking is installed, programs like TweakUI for Windows 98 can be used by a system administrator to hide Network Neighborhood
To restore the Network Neighborhood icon, first open Control Panel to check for the presence of TweakUI, and use it if available. Otherwise, go to the Network section of Control Panel and reinstall the "Client for Microsoft Windows." In newer versions of Windows such as Windows 2000, one can alternatively use the Add/Remove Windows Components feature of Control Panel to install the Windows "Networking Services."
Should these remedies fail, most likely an advanced network setting exists in the Windows Registry. If the following value exists, it is safe to remove it to restore Network Neighborhood :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoNetHood
