Thanks for your comments, Gary.  I guess it could be something like 
that; but, if it is, I would have to fight some sort of corporate 
"policy" implementation to solve the problem.  (I'll mention it to the 
help desk FWIW. ;-)

I've also noticed a pronounced "stutter" or "shudder" of the Windows 
Explorer display when accessing things on the network drive(s) from 
the "new" XP system.  Perhaps that's another symptom of the problem 
you describe?

Cheers, Phred.
