Network folder listing times (XP Vs. 2k server)

Hi!

I've recently upgraded the OS in my HTPC (also working as my file server) to Windows XP. One of my folders on the HTPC, which I mount as a network drive on my desktop, contains around 1200 folders. When the server was running 2k Server, the folder listing of the network drive took roughly ½ a second.... now, with xp, this process takes around 10-15 seconds! I got so annoyed that I reinstalled 2k server, and the problem disappeared, but I just couldn't do without some of the XP features so I re-upgraded.

Is there a way to switch off some stuff in XP to allow for faster folder listings?

Thanks,
Japex
