[AccessD] Good old WinXP Home

I ordered a Dell for my sister-in-law with WinXP on it, and have been
setting it up for her.  In the process I have to copy a bunch of directories
from one computer on my network to that box.  My net is All Win2K Pro.

In Win2K pro I can drag and drop a directory.  The transfer starts.  I can
then select and drag and drop the next directory.  That transfer starts.  I
can do this many times, and although each transfer slows down to share the
hard disk / network bandwidth, things just proceed along smoothly.

With WinXP Home, when I start the second, the whole process locks up.  I
eventually get a "network connection lost".

Isn't XP Home grand.
