Auto-created Printers

How do you stop XP from showing every printer connected
to the network? When I open my printers and fax folder it
has Auto in front of printers that it discovered on the
network.

I have the opposite problem. It seems to me that shared printers are
discovered only one time and if I delete such printer from the source or
destination, such printer is no longer discovered. I have tried to toggle
the Share flag on/off with out success. How do I force rediscovery of these
printers?
