Microsoft RichCopy (a GUI alternative to drag 'n' drop)

Hello all,

Following a recent internet search for something altogether unrelated, I literally stumbled accross something called RichCopy, an unoffical (and unsupported) tool from Microsoft. So being the kind soul that I am, I thought I'd share the discovery...

I've yet to try it out, but for all those out there who are scared of the command line (and hence have not discovered the wonder that is RoboCopy*), this tool looks like it might provide a better interactive alternative to the old drag and drop "flying papers" method when shifting around large volumes of data.

The tool can be downloaded (free) from Microsoft here and a review of the tool can be found here.


*= Techncially it might even be slightly better than RoboCopy in that it's a multithreaded tool.
