Vista file transfers damn slow

[The Jackal]

What do I need to do to make any file type operation within vistas explorer faster ?

ie tune it ?

All network file operations are damn slow

What the hell is vista doing when I drag and drop from a to b ? a virus check ?

What the heck is the " preparing to copy **** " ?

Just transfer the files please and QUICKLY GRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

They call it progress, I just call it fat **** Microsoft programing. The more memory the Microsoft engineers have the more they make there software bloated and slow. I have said it once and i will say it again, Windows is not bad for Alpha software but i would not run anything critical on it .

Well tbh Vista is a great effort and I can see the amount of GOOD programming effort that has gone into it.

But alas needs to be tuned to user preferences - hence my query.

EDIT : Was reading weeks back about the explorer hack - anyone have any tips or point me to the URL ?

Cheers

Well it is designed for at 2gig of RAM and really dual core at the minimum - You can't really compare Vista with XP they are very different breeds.

I feel its quicker. I have XP on the same box, Dual Core and 2GB and it feels like IE is certainly quicker under Vista, however the frame rates i get in 3dmark06 are lower.

Thanks mate I'll give that a shot.

Sorry for tagging on a bit but do you know of how to fix services like VNC so that I can get through the logon screen after the machine is locked.

Typically since VNC runs in user mode - when you lock Vista you are dropped into system mode and hence the reason why you cant vnc unless you physically unlock the machine.

Yes it looks like I want VNC to run at the system level if possible ? Any cookies you can throw me would be welcome.

One thing you could try is turning off "Remote Differential Compression", some people say disableing it helps.. (can at least give it a try)

Control Panel > Programs & Features > (On the Left)Turn Windows Features on or Off. Just untick Remote Differential Compression.

Wow you are God. Thanks for pointing that very very useful api (yeh I guess I should have known about it )

Just realised I have not unticked it myself.
