Windows Copy works in a perfect world

Do you know what happens if one of the files you copy in Windows is corrupt, open, can’t be found, or has a too long file name? The copying gives an error message and then stops! It would have been so much nicer if it copied the files it could copy and then list the files it could not at the end.

In steps the free utility Teracopy found here.

In my last copying job 28 files were not copied because their paths were too long. Now I can change the path and copy them individually.

(I thought I had written about Windows Copy some time ago, but did not remember where. Google cam to my rescue. Here is what I wrote in my diary one year ago.)
