Teracopy

So there are still a couple of things about Vista that drive me crazy. One I will note here, is that file operations still (post Sp1) SUCK! I can't copy large files fast. I can't copy a ton of small files fast. Operations involving copying a set of folders over another set of folders (typically I am getting rid of dupes by keeping the newest ones) just outright fail, over and over and over. Yuck!

Paul Thurrott has found something that might help us. Of course we hate to use an outside utility for something like this, but what choice do we have. Teracopy ( http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php ) as mentioned on the latest Windows Weekly podcast ( http://twit.tv/ww72 , http://www.winsupersite.com/paul/podcast.asp ). I will be trying it out (oh yes) and you can too.
