Turning "Filesharing on" on a computer is turning the sharing SERVER on. Even when Filesharing is off on your 7300, it still functions as a filesharing client just fine. Basically, it sounds like you have set the little "mount on start up" toggle. Go into the System Folder and look for a folder called "Servers". Clean it out. Probably best to trash the AppleShare Prep file (in Preferences), too. >2nd question... > >After I start -up and everything on my desktop has shown up (whether the >7200 is on or not) there is a few seconds, then menu bar greys out and I can >still move the mouse but I cannot select anything for almost a minute and a >half.

This is probably related to the first problem; it's trying to mount remote volumes that aren't on the network right now. Clean out the Servers folder and read the dialogs very carefully the next time you log in to another computer through the Chooser; there's an 'X' box at the end that you only need to check if you want to mount that volume every time the computer turns on. Everytime you click that X, it puts an alias to that other computer in the Servers folder, even if there's already one there. If that computer is off, or filesharing is turned off on that computer, or this computer isn't on the network, or anything else gums up the work, that alias runs and then you have to wait for it to time out. I've talked to people who had to wait up to 30 minutes at start up and had 80+ aliases to the same server..... cleaned out Servers, and viola! no more wait.
