Help
Finally I figured out what the problem with slow shared file network access is between XP and Win98 / ME computers - It's a new microsoft service/ protocol called WMI. If you don't have WMI enabled, getting file lists from remote computers will take FOREVER. So, how to enable it? Quite simple, just type this in the run box:
wmiprvse
Voila! If you want to put it in your start-up folder (a good idea if you ask me) then just point a shortcut to wmiprvse.exe ; I hope this works for everyone - RT

After reviewing and receiving tons of messages on this topic, I was planning on refomatting the XP system back to 98SE because this delay situation is far too problematic.
I CANNOT wait to get home and try this.

Strange... it was when I looked this morning!! (atleast on my machine anyways).
i think you're talking about wmiapsrv.exe - I'm talking about wmiprvse. There's a caveat to this which is that winprvse may not be the ONLY roadblock - some services may be involved. Here's my services on/off list (I also have NetBEUI installed and NetBIOS enabled over TCP):

The secret is that you cannot have a password set up on the 98 box for the share. It must be blank. Then delete the stored password on the XP box under Control Panel -> Users -> (Select the user) -> Manage Network Passwords -> [DELETE]
Yay!
