Introduction
Remote Differential Compression (RDC) allows data to be synchronized with a remote source using compression techniques to minimize the amount of data sent across the network.
Many pre-Windows Vista computers and devices are not compatible with RDC which makes transferring files across a network slower for a Windows Visa computer because it's trying to use RDC.
This guide shows you how to speed up your Windows Vista network transfer by disabling Remote Differential Compression (RDC) in Windows Vista.
Disable Remote Differential Compression
- Open the Control Panel.
- Open Programs and features.
- Click Turn Windows features on or off.
- Uncheck Remote Differential Compression.
- Click OK.
