Anyone found a fix for the slow file transfer problem in Vista?
This has been driving me nuts over the past few days, and having googled the problem it appears to be pretty widespread.
Basically if you delete, or move a large file or folder in Vista, it takes ages. Moving a file within a volume should be almost instantaneous, as the file itself doesn't get moved, only the pointer to it. I moved a 1.5gb folder today and it took nearly 4 minutes, whereas it takes a matter of seconds in XP. :mad:
This is what a google search brings up. At least I'm not alone.
One of those searches recommended installing KB 931770, but this made no difference. I wasn't that surprised anyway as the article refers to slow copying from network shares, but this is happening just moving a file within a local disk.
Anyone else noticed this problem or found a solution yet?
