When performing a copy or delete. I just find it annoying. I'd much rather it just does the copy or delete and not waste my time tyring to figure out how long the job will take. I gave up believing "Microsoft time" a long time ago... Nick

The drive is marked to compress all files. There is approx. 70 GB free disk space on D: (according to Windows Explorer "Computer" node). I've now copied some files from D: to F:. Nothing else... After hours of waiting and after...

Couldn't find in a search... Have some folders where I save files using numbers as filenames, as an example I save my electronic check images. Windows won't sort them numerically, ie: it will go 100, 1550, 205 etc. instead of 100, 250, 1550. It sorts them as if the numbers are letters, rather than numerically. How can I change this?!?!? It really makes it hard to look for files (ie. did I...
