XP "My Computer" settings

How can I remove the "Files stored on this computer" section in "My
Computer" some computers I've seen have this while others don't? Also, how
do you get the "My Network places" to appear on the start menu?

Thanks in advance.

Or use TweakUI to do it...

By default there is an entry for "My Network Places" in the Start
Menu. If it is missing, you can drag the same Desktop icon ontop of
the Start Button to create a new shortcut.
