JMarimon Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Hey guys. For the longest time, I just lived with it. If you have Vista, you know it. Copy a file, it is slow; move it, again, slow. Delete is slow as well. It brings up that window and sits there calculating remaining time in the time it could have just deleted the damned file. Well, anyhow, I discovered a fix to this and wanted to share it with everyone. It just made me that happy. (You have to be really happy to feel like sharing.) Go to your Control Panel (Switch to Classic View) -> Programs and Features -> On the side, click "Turn Windows Features On/Off" -> Uncheck the box that says "Remote Differential Compression". If you never noticed it before, try deleting a file now, it will shock you how fast it will go. Anyhow, I sure hope this helps someone, it sure helped me, and there is an entire three internets complaining about it. Spread the word!
JMarimon Posted July 5, 2007 Author Posted July 5, 2007 That was so irritating! Thanks. You rock GC <3 Actually, although it has changed something... I am not noticing the issue completely fixed. Hmmmm. I'll keep looking into it.
JMarimon Posted July 12, 2007 Author Posted July 12, 2007 Actually, after using it for a few days now, I have decided that it is fixed. Works pretty nice. Copying TONS of files for E3 stuff, and it is working like XP would. Yay.
=NukeBlaze= Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 ^ Its something that they are addressing in SP1.
JMarimon Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 I hope they don't re-break it for me. I am really happy with it right now.
Rummy Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Does this mean you have to keep it in classic view though? It was something I'd noticed, and was immensely pissed off with, it's like things are moving backwards, not forwards!

Shorty Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Isn't there a drawback to this though? Surely it was there for some purpose. Does this mean you have to keep it in classic view though? It was something I'd noticed, and was immensely pissed off with, it's like things are moving backwards, not forwards!You don't even have to put control panel into classic view to see it, you can just click on Programs from the new control panel layout

Sparko Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Seems like an official fix is on the way: http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=41691
