Clint, I did disable the folders view and it was still extremely slow. However, when I mapped it, the speed was amazing! It was as if I was browsing through my local c: drive. Arrrrrrrgggh. Now, my question is, What does mapping do that is so different from a shortcut in My Network Places? Any thoughts? Thanks to all for your time!

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.
