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... :cool:
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 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx) and a review of the tool can be found here (http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/Microsoft-RichCopy-Review-107778.shtml).
*= Techncially it might even be slightly better than RoboCopy in that it's a multithreaded tool.
