Often when copying or deleting files in Windows Explorer, if a file is
in use or for some reason can't be copied or deleted right then, the
whole process stops instead of continuing onto the next. Is that built
in or settings based? Thanks.

To overcome such problems you may want to use the command line instead


xcopy /c should do the trick


just open a command window and type xcopy /? for a list of all the switches

So are you saying this is the way WinExplorer was designed and that to
copy files where one might be in use I have to revert to DOS?!
