Windows 7: Slow File Copying/Moving (inc the Dreaded "Discovering Items" Message)
My old PC had WindowsXP and moved /copied files quickly with no issues.
Windows 7 is a nightmare! always having to wait for the green bar to crawl across the top of the folder (or getting the dreaded Discovering Items message), in safe mode files are moved / copied quickly.
I've turned off Indexing and Windows Search as recommended but its still an issue.
Is there any fix at all?
