The standard Copy/Move File dialog in Windows XP looks something like this:


I don't know about you folks, but I've always hated it. It's not very helpful, the "Cancel" button has never really worked for me, and it doesn't give a good idea of the actual progress of a copy/move procedure. Teracopy replaces it with a much more helpful dialog:

With the "More" option selected:


With the "Less" option selected.



You can skip files, pause the operation and it integrates right into the Windows Shell.

Definitely something i'd like to have. I hate not knowing what's going on with my copy processes. Hopefully with this i'll be able to tell what's happening at any given time and how long it should last. Thanx for the tip.

As I understand it there is no trial period. It's free for personal use.

I've used it a lot in Vista and it's a pretty good replacement for the slow copying there.
