I have a big file, like 2GB, and would like to move it from

Network -> Bookroom -> Users -> Public

(this is the computer in the bookroom in the house)

to

c:\myfiles

and they are actually on the SAME hard drive (and same partition). But copying still takes a minute or so?

I thought if on the same hard drive and partition, then it is a "move" and it should take 2, 3 seconds only.

that public folder also is \\Bookroom\Users\Public

Update: Sorry, I actually mean "move" all the way... so it is not copy but move. So that's why I thought it should take 2, 3 seconds only.
