map drive performance suffers

[menter]

Anyone seen anything like this? System runs fine (WINXP),
I map a drive and performance suffers. If I check task
manager Explorer is running around 14% and the rest is
system idle process time. Not sure if it's Explorer but
it's the only thing running and it does seem to use allot
of memory. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Slow opening Windows explorer

Q: When I logon my laptop with domain account at home and open windows
explorer, it runs ever slow. Why?

A: When logging on this laptop at work, the Windows Explorer may map the
network drives persistently. Now, since you are logging on the domain user
without domain, the Windows Explorer will take long time to open. The
resolution is that disable persistent mapping.
