One of the major shortcomings that the Windows OS has had since its inception is its poor file copy/move operation. It’s brilliantly (and hilariously) summed up by this XKCD manga.
Whether you’re working on Windows 98/XP just fine or you’ve installed the latest beta version of Windows 8, Windows Explorer’s default file-handling engine is often a pain to work with.
Working with conventional tools means that the user has no option to pause the file operation in progress. Also, one has to stick to the default file cache size which tends to degrade performance on faster processors.
If you are fed up of this Windows file copying, I recommend you give TeraCopy a try today.
What is TeraCopy?
TeraCopy is a free software designed to copy and move files in Windows environment with maximum speed possible but with minimum possible effort.
Using TeraCopy
This tool is very easy to get started. This is one of the few tools that fall under the install and forget category. As soon as you install TeraCopy, it will integrate itself into the Windows shell replacing the usual file copying and moving tool.
However, if you want to keep Windows Explorer’s default file processing engine (I personally don’t like to do that), you can simply uncheck the option “Use TeraCopy as default copy handler” from Menu—>Options in the program itself.
Then you can just start TeraCopy for specific tasks from the right-click context menu.
Advantages of TeraCopy
These are the 2 main advantages of using this advanced file cloner for Windows.
Copy files faster with shell integration
Users can tune the file cache to achieve faster file copy speeds by reducing file lookup times. The program automatically starts when the user tries to use the copy and move function, replacing Explorer’s default tool.
Pause and resume file transfers with queue support
If you want to free up all your system resources for a high priority task then you can pause your copying at any time using TeraCopy. You can even add, drop or skip files in the copy queue according to your needs.
My judgment
All I can say is that TeraCopy is the best alternative to Windows’ lousy file handling tool. It overcomes all the shortcomings of the default Windows copy/move tool and is a must-have application for all Windows users.
