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!

I'd suggest you post this question on
microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment; this newsgroup is for
Microsoft Access, not for general Windows questions. I don't happen to
know the answer but I'll follow your thread if you do post it!
