Mount @ Windows 10 - Solving speed issues with big multimedia files

A) I was unable to edit the howto, so I wrote a V2 - hope it is clearer - see here


Perhaps this initial howto can be deleted... to avoid clutter.

============================================

B) Proposal for rclone mount docs

When mounting remotes under Windows 10 (not N version), explorer use can produce long delays in its command execution, especially when the remote folder has many multimedia big files. Those are neither bugs nor malfunctions, neither rclone nor windows: are produced by windows features.

To avoid those delays, you can:

Recomended approach: use MyCommander - https://myco.yonan.ro
(free, portable, w32/64, modern=2017, mouse support, GUI; but no source code ;-(

Other ways:
a) Avoid right clicking in files. As for example, if you want to rename, just left click then rename. If you want to copy/paste, use ctrl-c then ctrl-v.

b) For moving, use a explorer alternative with at least two pannels, so click and move. Free (as in free beer) ones, portables, such as Explorer++, Q-Dir, FreeComander. In any of those, right clicks will imply delays

c) Use CMD commands and/or pure old style console file managers such as free portable Far Commander (or if you like it more, Midnight Commander). No delays at all (copy/download operations aside) - unfortunately, no mouse friendly ;-( and they have they own learning curve. The less complex to learn for me is Brian Havard File Commander http://silk.apana.org.au/fcwftp.html
(shareware).

d) for experts, heavy users, there is the option to modify windows (explorer) file handlers and behaviour. See how to for details.
