Seems you got what you initially intended.yes ?
An argument.
You were extremely vague in the first post and someone took a stab at it.
Install ubuntu.
You will have it locked up in about 15 minutes.

You had better look in the mirror Alias. And you had better take a hard
look at your own posting history, because you are no bed of roses.

I got what I've seen many others get when they simply asked for help.
Disrespect.

Accusing me of stealing music P2P wasn't taking a stab at anything. It
was a typical wise guy put down this newsgroup has a reputation for.
Most noteworthy it was from a MVP who's purpose is suppose to offer
help. Instead he insulted me, then tried to lie his way out of it.

I'm wondering why the typical response is more like yours then
offering any real instance.

I'm simply copying files from one hard drive to another, not over any
network. It doesn't matter if from one internal drive to another or
from some internal drive to an external drive or the other way around.
The process is sometimes much slower than XP or going out of the shell
and using something else to copy.

I'm noticed others have similar problems. Is this a known issue?

There are no errors of any kind nor any events recorded in any logs.

Thanks for a fair and objective answer not colored by any bias. The
problem I see over and over has nothing to do with my applications but
it seems to be Vista itself since it is Explorer that is slow in
copying files and again it is Explorer that keeps saying it needs to
shut down either when first bringing it up or if it is middle of doing
something. Since no external third party drivers are involved in
copying files this problem seems embedded in Windows itself. I have
also seen in XP and I think 2000 as well but to a lessor degree.

It's a known Windows issue, made worse with Vista with its indexing. I
have both XP and Ubuntu installed, with XP on a faster computer. Ubuntu
does file transfers MUCH faster than XP.
