Microsoft puts a task schedule key into the registry. So, if you view a network share, it checks the
computer with the share for scheduled tasks it might be running. With Samba, this doesn't work and creates
a delay. To remove it from winxp registry, do the following...
Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace/{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} registry key. After you restart your machine, XP will no longer check for scheduled tasks. You should notice a big performance improvement!
