very slow file deletion

Post by cxubrix »

When I'm deleting files in FAR, it is a very slow process. Why? Maybe some configuration should be done?
I'm ussing WinXP and in explorer it happens much faster.

Try to set this value in the registry:

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far\Interface]
"ShowTimeoutDelFiles"=dword:00000500
