re: workgroup name resetting to mshome Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 6:05 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Adam Bradley (7827 messages posted) Windows does not spontaneously change those settings on it's own, you need to figure out what is causing the change. Do you have any applications loaded to help control your network settings? Scanned for malware? Any kind of notices in the event viewer coinciding with the change?
