Hi

I have Ultimate SP2 fully updates.

Recently I have been having a problem where, when I cut and paste a folder
that contains
sub-folders into a folder that contains a folder with the same folder and
sub-folder names,
the data is not transferred, even though I am selecting yes to folder and
file overwrite?

Any idea on why and how to fix it, I am having to cut and paste data over
from each folder individually.

thanks

Daniel

Robocopy might help. It's run from a command prompt. It's fast, powerful,
and to me, pretty intimidating, thanks to its complicated arguments. But it
does good work for my simple needs.

It would be a little complicated for my needs, I like the UI of Explorer and
would prefer to get it working properly.

I'm not convinced it isn't working properly...

And when I was setting up a robocopy batch file a few minutes ago, I had to
look up something online and noticed that there is somewhere a GUI for
robocopy. I didn't notice where, however, since I had other problems at the
moment.

I like TeraCopy - but I am unsure if it would help in this case. ;-)
