Sorry for the delay, I managed to get something in my eye which then scratched it, so now have gloopy ointment in my right eye and can hardly see a thing.

On the XP waht does Network Connections say? Is there a Internet Gateway as well as the usual Ethernet or Wireless connection?

I Never use My Network Places so dont know what that says.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8258/8868290801_a412d2... - screenshot from XP machine: XP is "desktop", "vostro" is a Dell Win7 machine, "f" and "j" are storage drives and ftp is included also.

That wasnt what I asked, but are you saynig that "The Internet" location, which OP is querying, is quite normal?

I think it depends on the "Arrange Icons by" selection - normally I have it on "Computer" rather than "Network Location" and then there is no mention of "Internet" on the window...

There would be if you had it on Details as per OP.

No on my XP machine, View > Details > Arrange Icons by > Computer still no mention of "The Internet" but with View > Details > Arrange Icons by > Network Location the "places" are grouped under "The Internet".

Surely using Details, The Internet appears under the column Network Location however you arange them unless you suppress that column?

Yes you are correct but I was referring to group headings:

View > Details > Arrange Icons by > Computer - "places" appear under a column headed "Computer" and a column headed "Network Location" below which is "Internet" for all items without an overall group heading.

View > Details > Arrange Icons by > Network Location - "places" also appear under a column headed "Computer" and a column headed Network Location below which is "Internet" for all items but in this instance the group is headed by "The Internet".

BTW. View > List never shows a group heading of "The Internet" nor any headed columns - this is shown in the OP's screenshot http://www.ancient-mariner.co.uk/public/XP%20View%20...
