WinMend File Copy, Resume Windows Copy Jobs
When you copy or move files in Windows Explorer, you may sometimes experience an error message that a file cannot be copied or moved because it is still in use. Instead of remembering all the files that cannot be moved at the time, or at least providing a log with those information, Windows Explorer does nothing to aid the user in resolving the issue. The core problem here is that you have probably copied or moved some of the files over, while the ones that could not be copied or moved are still in the original location.
The result is always the same: You need to manual fix the copy job by locating the files that were not copied properly. Sometimes you need to stop an application from running or accessing a file before you can do that.
WinMend File Copy is a free program for the Windows operating system that not only promises to copy files up to 300% faster than Windows Explorer but also to keep a queue of all files and folders that need copying. That's handy if Windows throws errors during the copying or moving of files.
Using a program like WinMend File Copy on the other hand may not be as comfortable as using Windows Explorer as it does not integrate into Windows Explorer. This makes the application less usable for copying a limited amount of files.
The copy software shines when it comes to copying large files and lots of files. A copy job consists of one or multiple files or folders that you add to the program with the help of buttons in the interface. The only other setting that is mandatory is the destination folder that you need to select as well.
WinMend File Copy can be configured to overwrite, skip or match and overwrite files of the same name. The only other setting available is the buffer size for the process which is set to 10 MB by default.
Another benefit of WinMend File Copy is the ability to copy files from multiple folders and locations in one go which is not possible in Windows Explorer.
Windows users who are looking for a queue based copy program for Windows can download the latest version of WinMend File Copy from the developer website. The program is compatible with all recent 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system.

instead of using this program, all u need is to replace explorer with a more capable file manager with these functionalities built-in.
Does unlocker not the same with giving the files free for transporting ?
Martin,
Any advantage of this program vs Teracopy?
No, Teracopy actually has more features than this one.
I like Teracopy, but I’ve found Winmend and ExtremeCopy to be faster than Teracopy when you copy files from one hard drive to another. I assume those programs use separate threads for writing and reading so one thread will read data from the source disk while the other thread writes the data to the target disk.
