Is there a better utility or program for copying files than Windows Explorer?
I'm sick of leaving a folder or folders copying from one hard disk drive to another and coming back to find that the whole process has stopped because Windows has choked on one file. Is there a way to copy around problem files that then lists the ones that didn't make it across to be dealt with separately. Is there a way/program that simply gets on with copying and doesn't stop to ask about duplicates or system files?
I've been putting up with this major fault for years from Windows 95 to XP. Has this been solved in Vista? Is there a bolt-on program that does this better? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? Thank you!

Personally I use the xcopy from the command line...
xcopy /y /c /h source destination
The /y says overwrite if exists, /c ignores errors /h is hidden and system files...
FAST simple and uses very less memory and processor than most GUI solutions. As for errors it usually doesn't get them UNLESS something TERRIBLE has happened... and when it does you REALLY should stop copying (such as disk or network errors)

the difficulty isn't explorer - its the thumb/pen/flash usbpersistent, the flashpersistent is formated to fat32, fat32 has a maximum document length shrink of 4gb, i be attentive to you have a fat32 formated flashpersistent through fact the utmost quantity (disk) length is 32mb's for fat, 2gb's for fat16 and 2tb's for fat32 you have a 64gb flashpersistent so its fat32, all flash/pen/thumb usb drives are formatted utilising between the fat document platforms the utmost document length shrink for ntfs is 16eb's, so the flashpersistent would be unable to be formated to ntfs, there's no application which could reproduction a 10gb document to a fat32 formatted flashpersistent - or any disk, partition, etc thats formated to fat32, fat32 basically won't be able to bodily carry a document over 4gb
