Supercharge file copying with TeraCopy
by Jason Clarke Jun 4th 2007 at 5:00PM
File copying between computers or even folders on a local system can sometimes be a bit of a pain. File sizes seem to be getting bigger, and the number of files we want to be moving around seems to be growing as well. One way to manage your file copies and moves is to install a tight little utility called TeraCopy. When installed, TeraCopy integrates into Windows Explorer and by default handles all file copies and moves, however this can be changed via the Menu button.
TeraCopy also offers a context-menu option when right-clicking on a file or group of files that you'd like to move or copy. Choosing the Teracopy context menu option brings the file into the TeraCopy interface, showing the complete path to the file(s) you are working with. You then have the option of pressing the Copy or Move button, choosing a destination and letting 'er rip.
Since one of TeraCopy's claims to fame includes the ability to retry copying a troublesome file a number of times, there is also a Test button in the interface that allows you to test your files to ensure they are complete and healthy.
TeraCopy is a free (for home use) Windows download. A Pro version is also available for $19.95 which offers the abilities to select files with the same extension/same folder, remove selected files from the copy queue, and get free updates and priority support.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Not sure if this has anything over Copy Handler, which is free. www.copyhandler.com

This is free also for home use, and Copy Handler sucks. It doesn't have an installer, doesn't handle drag and drop copy by default, if at all. I tried it for a while and suddenly all it's menus changed into some foreign language. It is shoddy amateurish software. This program is much better.
