This is probably just because the structures were just traversed and indexed however. You could also initiate operations from the XP machine where possible, i.e., do a copy from XP to Public, then use the command shell on Vista to move to the final destination.Īnother thing I noticed was that explorer seemed to get faster and smarter on subsequent operations of the same folder structures, such as moving or copying the same set of folders back and forth between two different parent folders. These should also work fine when the source or destination is a mapped drive. A quick test indicated moving a folder within the same drive was almost instantaneous, as it should be since only a directory entry is affected xcopy also seemed to take about 2/3 the time of an equivalent copy via drag'n'drop or paste. These would (presumably -) not waste time performing calculations that won't be displayed in the command line interface. One option is to use the command shell's move, xcopy and delete commands. I, too, would like a link for the hotfix#, if only to save subsequent viewers from having to search. why not take things that are more useful such as stability!!!!!!!!!!!!! after all, microsoft has stolen the idea of gadgets from linux anyways. maybe take some pointers from them in terms of resource management. fix my move feature, my copy feature, my delete feature, and above all else dont lock up if i decide to cancel one of these features because they do not work.Ĭalculating time remaining stall is a serious problem. Media center has many a glitch, but please microsoft, work on what is a problem thus far. yet, i can honestly say this is one of the biggest. this is one of many problems driving people insane. be for real here.įind a solution, or scrap the entire "Calculating time remaining" feature out of the os. Microsoft has its hands full, and all i keep reading about are programmers using the excuse that the reason my move command locks/stalls is because of A LOT OF PROGRAMMING/PROCESSES THAT ARE COMPUTING. xp was not like this in its opener back in 99-2000. compatibility issues, resource issues, etc. and to be quite honest, a lot of people are getting rid of their brand new pc computers with a brand new preinstalled version of vista on it because of the os problems. the move, copy, delete, cancel functions take way too long. these should be be such difficult processes. deleting a file, copying a file or files, etc. moving a file should not be such a difficult problem. a lot of programming to do a simple process is a lame excuse. I wish that someone would say something more than referring to programming handles, etc etc etc blah blah blah.
