I have a Windows XP machine that is a member of a domain.
One of the users of this machine has his "My Documents"
and "Desktop" folders redirected to a file share on this
computer. When he browses the local machine using
\\{Computer Name}\{Path} (due to folder redirection), it
is painfully slow. However, he can browse the same folders
using {Drive Letter}:\{Path} quickly. Also, when
connecting from a different client, he can browse the
problematic computer quickly. The local and domain
administrators can browse this computer using \\{Computer
Name}\{Path} quickly also.

What could be causing such slow "loopback network access"
Permssions? Local or domain group/secuirty policies?

NETBIOS support caused this problem for me many times on a TCCP/IP
network.
