How to tell Windows 7 NOT to search for LAN printers on start-up?

I take my notebook to work and I have configured the printers there. I obviously don't have that printer at home so I want Windows not search for that prineter every time on start-up.

Can I do that?

Solution 1:

I found some information that looked similar to this at http://answers.recipester.org/question/23067/how-do-you-disable-Automatically-search-for-Network-folders-and-Printers-in-Windows-7%3F.

Open Windows Explorer, press + , then choose "Folder Options", you will find the settings located in "View" tab.

I tried looking at this myself but didn't see a printer setting. Maybe you will. I will let you know if I discover anything else.
