mmh, good question. If you export them without junctions but under the same URL then it should work.
Just make a backup of your userdata folder (see that you grab the right one) and you should be fine.

I disabled the windows firewall and installer comodo. I still expecience the same delay when accessing a share. Is there a setting in comodo I am missing?

hehe, have to admit that I use comodo on my XP PC where I don't see this delay. On Vista I don't use a firewall (it's only used for developing anyway).
You could try to set comodo in training mode (right click on the try icon and on two places you have to choose training). Then start XBMC in window mode and start a scan. Afaik a comodo windows should popup to indicate the connection attempt and if you want to allow and save it.

I tried that. Enabled training mode on two places. then I tried to klick on the added source/share. It froze a few seconds as usual and then entered the dir. No popups on the "server" computer by Comodo. Wonder what it is that's slowing down the initial access.

It sounds like it's blocking something and Windows times out. Dunno what and why no popup is there. Have to try this by myself and search a little bit in the net.

Sure and the help is appreciated. Always remember to do a debug log because this tells us exactly where the time is lost.
But more or less I understand where the problem is. The problem is just I don't know where it comes from.
XBMC uses now the same functions like you when typing in \\computer\share. In theory this should be as slow as the tests with XBMC.
