RichCopy

This little gem of a utility saved me a lot of time (after wasting a good deal of it) the other night.

RichCopy

If you're like me and sometimes just can't be bothered figuring out arcane command lines (I fought with xcopy and robocopy before finding this), you may find this utility handy if you're a Windows user. I was trying to copy a DVD with many corrupted files on it and xcopy was incrementally choking (even with ignore errors turned on it was failing - go figure).

Anyway, two thumbs up on RichCopy.
