A known issue, yes. Vista has a very hard time dealing with files. Odd
thing to say about an operating system, as dealing with files would
seem to be one of the prime functions.
Yesterday, I moved 4 pictures from one directory to another (well, cut
& paste in any case). Took about 15 seconds after the paste commend
for the files to show up. The "calculating time remaining" dialog did
not go away for 10 seconds after that. I was able to move the files to
a third directory before the dialog went away.
