basic OS question

OK so I set up an old computer I had for my 5 year old to play games on. It runs Win95. Well, my daughter discovered how to delete files and was randomly deleting every file she could highlight before I stopped her(OK so she's pretty bright for her age!). Fortunately, she hadn't deleted any system files but the computer then was having alot of errors.

No problem I figure, I'll just reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS. When I put in the boot disc and tried to reformat it said I could not format a network drive. I remembered the computer used to be part of a home network so I figured I'll just stop sharing the drive in the computer settings and I'll be able to format.

Therein lies my problem. When I dbl click on network properties, the hourglass flickers on for a second and disappears and nothing happens. My daughter must have deleted that program. Can anybody tell me what settings I need to change in the system files to remove the network(sharing) properties?

Thanks
