MacbookPro 2011 Windows 7 CPU heating up on deleting files

Post by *dan.ardelean »

Hello,
I have a Macbook pro 2011 i7 Quad on which I have Windows 7 in bootcamp. The strange behaviour is when I try to copy/delete large batch of files. All the cores go to 90% usage and the proceesor is heating up rapidly to almot 05 degr Celsius. This is not happening if I use File Explorer. Any idea why this behaviour?

Regards,
Dan Ardelean

This is because of the Windows Vista/7 "delete to recycle bin" bug: Windows 7 creates a separate thread for each deleted file when using the old delete function.

Solution:
Please add the following string to the file wincmd.ini, section [Configuration]:
VistaDelete=1

You can edit the wincmd.ini via Configuration - Change settings files directly.
