Slow XP over LAN

XP access of data files over wired LAN is very slow.
Once the program is active, speed of program is normal.
 
This could be due to a known issue with webclient, fixed in XP Service Pack
1.
Assuming you don't use "Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)",
here's a possible workaround:

Type the following command to determine whether webclient is running:
sc queryex webclient
If the STATE shows RUNNING, then run the following command to disable it:
sc config webclient start= disabled
The initial slowness in accessing file shares should not occur on the next
boot. To avoid a
reboot, you could run the following command:
sc stop webclient

Hope this helps,
Arvind
