Well, I just set it on my box here, and I am still having the slow network browsing. I 
still think it has something to do with the way I'm logging in. Since guest is the 
default in XP i have to put user name in the path: 
\\fileserver\share\passprotectedshare%user and then enter in password, even though 
login says guest, that method tricks XP into thinking that user is logging in and not 
guest. My thoughts are unbased, but I have a hunch. Opinions?

Anyone have experience with disabling this or leaving it enabled and seeing a difference? Just curious. Actually, extremely curious!



Just for giggles, open up this file share with the "Folders" toolbar disabled (i.e. My Computer instead of Windows Explorer, although they're identical in 2000 & Up, just open up different toolbars by default) and tell me if opening the share still takes the same amount of time. Often times, enumerating the workgroup/domain computers in the Folders list at the left is what slows network performance down considerably. Also, try and map a drive to the share and see if performance there is slow as well.
