Just installed Win7, and i noticed when i move a file/folder, it actually copies, then deletes. I noticed because if i want to move 40 GB, I must have 40 GB free space.

On XP, if I am moving folders and files within the same partition, no matter size, are moved instantly. Only the number of files matters.
Any way to get around this?
Thanks.
