Vista file copy/move (calculating time remaining)
I have been irritated by this issue since I installed Vista Ultimate a few months ago. I have multiple disks in RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD. I have updated my Intel RAID drivers, tried various suggestions posted in forums such as "turn on UAC", install the MS hotfix for network copying, turn off thumbnail generation in Explorer properties(this actually works great but I want thumbnails). In the end I just started using PowerDesk Pro instead of Explorer and I have no more issues with copying/moving files or folders regardless of file size or number of files in a folder. It starts the file copy/move immediately and does it very quickly. It allows me to keep the annoying UAC turned off, keep thumbnail generation turned on, and all is well in my world...
