Re: Vista keeps reading file after copy cancelled

My first thought was "it's utterly absorbing of course, and a spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, hallowed be its name, but why's (s)he attempting to do network file copies using a Real Time Strategy game like Supreme Commander?!?" Then I re-read your post.

The network (SMB) redirector does indeed do something called "lazywrite" which can result in continued activity after the UI reports a file operation as completed, but 5 minutes seems far too long.

Does the same thing happen if you use plain old Explorer to copy the file, or even the CMD prompt (using mapped drives)?
