Title: Improving the Performance of 3+Open Start

The performance of workstations booted with 3+Open Start can be
increased significantly if you create a sharename for each workstation
start volume.  Using the sharename to start each workstation is faster
than Start service.  Here is how to do it:

1.  Create a sharename on a server.   Name it the same as the start volume
for ease of administration.

2.  Create the same directory structure in the sharename as in the
start volume.

3.  Add the following lines to the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the
start volume:

    3S UNLINK
    NET USE C: \\servername\sharename

If all workstations using the Start service implement this, the Start
service on the server will be swapped to disk from lack of use, thereby
improving server performance.  Workstations will realize a performance
improvement immediately for all network executable files.
