[Samba] Slow browsing from Win2k and WinXP

[Chuck Theobald]

Hi Jonathan,

Just got back to the samba list and saw your post.  Thank you for the heads 
up.  Oddly, my slow browsing issues seem to have just gone away.  I do not 
have any such delays and have not heard further complaints from the staff, 
so I am hypothesizing that something of the sort you mentioned in Windows 
got flushed out after a week or so.  I did follow up on your lead and did 
indeed find some old items in the registry, though they appear to be not 
interfering with browsing, at least at this time.

Thanks,
Chuck
