Windows Toolbox: Improve Your Moves With Total Copy
If your system is interrupted while copying a large number of files and folders, it can be tough to tell the folders whose contents were completely copied from those that are incomplete. You have to either start over or open each folder manually to figure it out. Fortunately, a solution may be just a download away. Total Copy adds two extra commands (Total Copy Here and Total Move Here) to the menu you see when you drag and drop files with your right mouse button. The program automatically pauses when a problem occurs and then resumes later. It has manual pause and resume, as well as controls for adjusting the transfer speed (handy for any quirky network connections). The program's creator, Bj??rn Gulliksen, claims that Total Copy works faster than Windows' own copy function. Though it's designed for Windows 9x and 2000, I've found no problems using the program in Windows Me and XP. Go to WebAttack.com to download your free copy.
