This is a problem that has bugged me for a while. From my Windows 2000 machine I access a shared folder on a Windows 95 or 98 machine. I get an hourglass cursor for up to maybe 20 seconds, then eventually the folder opens.

I finally found the answer here, so I thought I'd "share" it:

Now those Win 9x shares pop right open immediately!

Incidentally, there's a wealth of Win2k information at this site -- and a download for TweakUI 2000 at:
http://www.windows2000faq.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=15556

Works great, with a number of specific Win2k tweaks.
