Modifying this key should solve your problem.

The parameters that control network bindings for the Browser service are described in NetRules Subkey Entries.
Under the following Registry path, two parameters are found:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System
\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\Browser
\Parameters



MaintainServerList REG_SZ

Range: Boolean or Auto

Default: Auto, if none is present. (This server contacts the Master Browse Server, and the Master Browse Server tells this server whether it should become a browse server.)

If this value is No, this server is not a browse server. If this value is Yes, this server becomes a browse server. It attempts to contact the Master Browse Server to get a current browse list. If it cannot find the Master Browse Server, it forces an election and is, of course, a candidate to become the master.
If MaintainServerList is Auto, this server may or may not become a browse server, depending on the results of the Registry exchange with the Master Browse Server.

If MaintainServerList is set to Yes, the computer is configured to always be a backup browser.
