   I managed to track down a box which still had Windows 2000 on it, and
created the link, added it to the WebDAV, pulled the .lnk on the XP
box, and it works. Well, sort of. Functionally it works, but it is
UNBEARABLY slow. It seems that the problem of it not working at all
goes beyond XP boxes that are member of a NT Domain, because this one
is most certainly not.

   Now, has anyone else noticed the unbearably slow speed? Is it a
problem with my apache configuration? The share is still available at
http://webdav.contegix.com/svn if anyone who has done this before has
something else to compare it to. For convenience, the .lnk file is on
the share

   Yep, that would be me. You are very welcome!
