Duncan, The problem of copying large amount of files has been a problem with Windows since I can remember. So, this is not really a problem with Windows 8. On Windows 8's defense it does a lot better at handling the files while copying them. Regards, On July 6, 2013 at 2:52 PM DSinc

This is true, however, I have been using OPUS explorer replacement since switching to Windows XP, and ever since, I have never had a problem copying anything. In fact, I had completely forgotten that there ever was a Windows copying problem. w At 06:06 AM 7/7/2013, you wrote: Duncan, The

Windows 8.1 does reintroduce the Start Button to show that they are listening to the customer but crucially not the Start Menu. In 8.1 there's an option to boot into the classic desktop with a Start Button. But when you press that button it simply launches the Metro UI. Methinks that's not

I keep telling people, don't use the right click - move. If it dies, you in a world of hurt trying to figure what got moved. Only use the copy and then delete after the copy is successful. al On Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:57:21 -0400 tmse...@rlrnews.com wrote: Well, points for style, it appears MS

Also, when copying a large amount of data it is a good idea to break the copy down into smaller amounts. What I mean by this is the number of files. This was also true in earlier versions of Windows as well. I copy vast amounts of data everyday so it's a little tip there :) On July 6, 2013 at

Is the problem in Windows the number of files or the size of the copy? I regularly move: 30+ GB files with no problem. I also move 10s of files each in the 2GB range, too. On..this is Win8. Sorry, silly me. :) On 7/6/2013 12:09 PM, Tim Lider wrote: Also, when copying a large amount of data

Another W8 glitch? Sheesh! Read in the paper last weekend that MS will release 'something' called Windows 8.1 this September. Don't know whether this is an upgrade, a patch, or whatever. Article mentions many fixes from their 'complaints' mail. WUP? Still no 'START button'

Well, points for style, it appears MS has tried to really improve this. But, in copying over a large amount of files today, I realize this thing can get VERY confused.. I get to the end of a 4Tb copy, and it says your target already has 868 of these files.. Oh.. Hmm. Interesting. So, I
