I found one that was good enough for me, but can't remember where.

In short, you need to install the PuTTY package and put it on your
PATH, so Emacs can run plink.exe. Second, you evaluate this:

(setq tramp-default-method "plink")

and you are done.

And yes, tramp is great but so slow that I use it less than I'll like
to.
