There is a couple of things you can do to speed up file transfer in Windows Vista,
The first I found by accident.
#1. copy the file to your clipboard, then paste into your system and the transfer is a little quicker.
#2. Download the Netmeeting-kb927853-x86-enu.msi hotfix from
thehotfixshare.netWhat this actually does I have no idea, however I took a "punt" and the hotfix seemed to speed up my file transfers by about 10 Mb per sec.
#3. Goto : Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features - Click the link "turn windows features on or off" Then uncheck "Remote Differential Compression".
#4. Disable "SearchIndexer.exe"
- Type services.msc in the searchbox of the start menu and click "services"
- Press Continue at the User Account Control Screen,
- The services management console will open,
- Scroll down to and Right Click Windows Search and select Properties,
- Click Stop,
- Select Disabled from the Startup dropdown menu,
- Click Ok,
- Close the services management console,
- No reboot required.
If none of the above work it wont be long before service pack 1 becomes avalible.
