thankx to jaclaz we have some registry tweaks to compress tcp/ip for faster speed and enhancements. In the Registry there is also: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fastfat and of course it is just a matter to add in it a key "superturbomode" giving it a value of 1 to have any file access/copy operation on FAT12,16 and 32 speed up by 127%. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ntfs a key named "ResublimatedThiotimoline" with value of "1" as this, whilst allowing to serve files before they are requested, thus with a very sensible speed enhancement on NTFS volumes , also writes files before they are created which results in filling volumes with gibberish files in a very short time. You can however add that key to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdfs as - being the filesystem RO - it won't create issues.
