Using RichCopy to speed up copying files

|
I found a utility that Microsoft wrote back in 1996 that some of you might find useful.  The utility is called RichCopy and it was written specifically to work in an unstable environment that existed in the earlier days of networks.
 
Why use this copy program when you can drag and drop files and folders so easily?  Well, for one thing, it is quite a bit faster (although the speed difference that you see may depend on your computer and the amount of data that you are copying).  If you are only copying a few files or the total amount of storage is less that a few megabtyes then please continue to use the standard copy program that comes with Windows.  However, if you are copying a large amount of data that takes several minutes to copy, then I think it might be worth your time to investigate this utility.
