Well I just found another great vista feature, Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS). Now here is how you turn it off:
Open up the registry editor ("regedit" in the Run box) and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \Audiosrv
Fine the DependOnService key and remove "MMCSS" from the list of values. (be sure to leave the other ones there)
Reboot, and disable the service in the service manager and you are set.
To give some indication on how much faster this may make your network, with it on and me playing music I was getting 8MB/s transfer of data. With it turned off I am getting 50MB/s. Thankyou oncea again microsoft. More info as to why this happens here. Original solution guide here

This is why we have clever IT nerds, when they write this stuff that I can't hardly work out a word of what it means!
Dude, you really should suggest backing up the reg first. Just in case eh? Like the look you're getting here - nice one man.
