run Shareport Utility when Windows starts
« on: February 26, 2009, 03:39:36 PM »

Just wanted to point out, that for some computers, having Shareport set to start when Windows starts is not a good option. For all of ours, that will produce the red disconnected icon. Exiting Shareport and restarting it always gets it going though. So in these cases, it would seem smarter to not have Shareport start when everything else does. Of course then you need to remember to start Shareport later, when you're going to need your shared resources.

Oh, 3 different builds, all running Win XP Home SP3. Intel and AMD processors. Various speeds and drive capacities.

Good remark. During startup, when the network connection  is not yet initialized (this can take ages on some installs), Sharepoint could fail to link to the required network connection.
