Slow Browsing to Mapped Drives When Using Group Policy Defined Drive Letter

Slow Browsing to Mapped Drive Only One Computer
So I have a client who is having an issue acessing a particular share on their SBS 03 server. The drive is mapped to M: using a logon script. Here's the different oddities I have noticed:
1. When you UNC to the specific location, it opens fine.
2. He can access it without issue from any other computer in the office.
3. If I manually change the mapping to a different drive letter (N), it works fine.
4. All other network resources are fine.
Here's what I've tried thus far:
Swapped cables, NIC, ran all updates, checked event log (nothing too strange), verified DNS settings, turned off all the random XP visual crap.
One other thing that we noticed, is when the drive is mapped via the logon script, it shows the Music Task Pane. With the mapped drive I created (N), it's not there and all is well.
I have been researching this for quite some time and have come up with nothing. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
