I frequently use Remote Desktop (with Local Resources enabled) to move files
back and forth from the server to my client. After installation of SP1 on
the servers, browsing my local drives via Windows Explorer on the server has
slowed significantly. The slowdown increases as I drill down through the
folder structure of my local drive.

Has anyone else seen this behavior and is there a fix/workaround

We are experiencing the exact same problem. We have two dedicated windows
2003 servers hosted by the same company. On one server without SP1 we can
browse our local drives with no problem. On the server that has SP1 the
browsing of files on the local drive is painfully slow. As below, the
slowdown increases as we drill down into the folder structure. The hosting
company does not even know what is going on. Can anyone give some insight
into this problem.
Thanks in advance.
