Is it possible to disable "Calculating time to copy/move file..."

It takes ages to calculate the time to move files within the same drive!
in windows xp; moving files is an instant operation!

Thanks

Truly the most annoying feature of Vista. I've had it take 15 minutes to
calculate a single 4k file.

I wish there was an option to disable that feature. I use RDP to mange
one of my servers. From XP I can copy and paste files twice as fast as
I can from Vista.

Re: Is it possible to disable "Calculating time to copy/move file..."

Why do you all act like this isn't in XP? I get this message all the time
when trying to move or copy "many" files from within XP. It's nothing new
although it shouldn't happen on a 4k file.

have you ever met with a psychiatrist? theres a clinical term for someone
like you... someone that has nothing intelligent to add to a conversation,
yet jumps it to laugh at possible failures and negativity. its sad really.
you must have a terrible life

It may take you 2 minutes perhaps because you do not know what you are doing, dumbass! If you don't like Vista, that is fine, just don't troll Vista NG's.

Better yet, he could block your posts from downloading. I agree that this
is a big problem. I have had little files I try to delete get to 20 hours
remaining, that delete just fine running ccleaner. Something is WRONG.

Re: Is it possible to disable "Calculating time to copy/move file..."

Agreed, something IS wrong however I don't blame Vista.

I can not reproduce this and I have many machines at my disposal. One
disgustingly overpowered AMD machine (home) and the rest of them from work
which are all Intel hardware. No such problem.

I blame drivers.
