From: Randall Parker 

Gary,

No, you are not alone.

I have to have NT, Win2k, and XP available for testing my software on
different versions. So I end up configuring all three. I find the
differences annoying and I
find XP to be the worst. XP's networking settings are especially annoying. Why is the
  network neighborhood Workgroup name now somewhere else? It is a
networking-related
name in my mind.
