Quick Logon missing from XP?

Windows 98 (my old, slow computer) had a great feature that would allow
remote networked drives to be present, but not actually pinged (I guess)
until you needed to actually access that remote drive. It was a setting
called "Quick Logon" in the Properties window of the Client for Microsoft
Networks service (in Network Properties).

Try as I might, I cannot find the comparable setting in Windows XP Pro.
Anyone found this? Even if I have to go into the Registry to change a
setting, that would be prefereble to the LOOOOONG waits I have whenever
Windows Explorer is trying to find all my connected drives. Aggravating!

Hi Glenn Grayson,

I think that this is what you're referring to:
Open My Computer and go to Tools>Folder Options>View tab and uncheck the
"Automatically search for network folders and printers" check box, click
Apply, OK, then restart.


Regards,
 
Nope, that didn't seem to make any difference. (It was already unchecked,
anyway, but I toggled it on / off / rebooted / etc...)
