Don't do any file copy while drag and drop operation is in progress (eg. drag and drop files to extract from WinRAR), because Explorer won't remember and can't undo it. While it's partially WinRAR's fault, it's also M$'s fault that they missed this problem. Obviously/probably file operations loggin isn't multithreaded. There is one more bug (?) in Explorer.

Maybe using the command line is more appropriate? How about also having a “Replace file with the same name if older” button…and an”all” version of it?

This is just another one of those little Windows annoyances that one quickly forgets about. Go install Ubuntu. Even if you do find some idiocrocy like a lack No To All button, you can file a bug in Launchpad (Ubuntu's bug tracker). Uh.

What restricts its usability in some environments? Also I didn't write this as a pointer to you exclusively but also to get other users to try it out. I have read some great additions to the tips you post in the comments so I figured if I can add something that might help other readers out I might as well do it. Anyway I really like teracopy :) Really? What restricts its usability in some environments?

It supports queuing, pausing and resuming.
