SP2 makes computer access network shares as guest

[Guest]

I just installed SP2 on an XP Pro machine. All patches up to date. Now when
this machine tries to access network shares on other computers in the domain,
the network connection is made as "guest" rather than the domain user name I
am logged in with. This does not happen with numerous other XP Pro SP2
machines in the domain, and is the first time I've seen this happen in
numerous installations of SP2. Prior to installation of SP2 this machine
always made network share connections as the domain name/user name. I'd like
to fix this rather than dump SP2. Notes: Windows firewall is disabled by
group policy on all computers in the domain. The computer in question had a
network folder mapped in Explorer at the time SP2 was installed. And
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Disable Simple File Sharing from Folder Options>View.

Thank you for the reply. Simple file sharing has been disabled since before
this problem started. Guest account is disabled on all machines in domain.

Then I'm sorry but I don't know. I don't see why having a network share
mapped would have made a difference, but you might want to ask the people
in one of the server newsgroups.

An update: uninstalling SP2 did not fix this problem (I didn't think it
would). I am going to have to reinstall XP and start over from scratch.
