*** I posted last January (2010) about 2圎xplorer and xplorer2.FastCopy is a program that promises to give users unprecedented control over copying and transferring files. There are also some other software names mentioned in that 2007 thread. I'm interested in what you decide on and any info from anybody else also. if you find something that you like, please post the information. I may just get in the habit of using this more.

I haven't used it as much as I should, I tried a small transfer between the two panes yesterday and it did seem to be super fast. I didn't care for the newer version, xplorer2 but I did like 2圎xplorer and it works with Windows 98SE. If I remember, 2圎xplorer is the earlier version of xplorer2. Definitely better than windows' copy, and hence worth a mention in this thread. It supports pause/resume, error recovery, archiving, some unique tree management (can replicate an entire folder structure without copying the files!) and advanced NTFS-related options.

Even on my own PC, whenever I'm working in the console, I just use XCOPY to transfer files/folders. On PCs that don't have xplorer², I use XCOPY. It may not be as full featured as some of the dedicated file copying programs here, but you do have pause/resume, error recovery, queuing, priority, replacement, archiving and logging options.

I use xplorer² as my system default file manager, and its file copying functions are *much* faster than windows's. I am already using 2圎xplorer which I just found out from reading an older thread of MSFN from 2007 might actually do what TeraCopy and the others do. Haven't tried FirstCopy yet, downloaded it to test. I was going to hunt around for some older versions, won't bother to do so now. Thanks for the info on older versions of TeraCopy never working with Windows 98SE.
