Guest yawnmoth Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 If I'm copying a large directory and have to stop midway through, restarting is kinda a pain. I can either overwrite everything or I can manually click 'No - do not overwrite' for each and every item. Maybe there's a command line option that'd make this easier?

I personally like robocopy from the resource kit (download from MS ....) robocopy c:\blah d:\blah /e /r:1 /w:1 (robocopy /??? will give you all the parameters)
