loaded Win 7 on 2 machine over LAN , shared out folders transfer rate is about 5 bytes per second. Checked security protocols, no problem with internet traffic only transferring files between two Win 7 machines on LAN. No such problems with XP. I'm sure in this security wizard overkill stuff in 7 there is something I missed.

This is the ONLY answer that FINALLY worked for me... I changed these 3 settings, restarted my pc and snail pace speeds are replaced with normal functionality..\Thank you I am amazed at how many forums and Microsoft Emgineer hacks havent been able to solve such a basic function of the win7 os. Hopefully everyone finds this answer before going elsewhere.
