Have you ever tried browsing around accidentally discovering beautiful images/backgrounds or the likes, but not thinking to save them.
Well recently I did, and damn if I could remember the site later (and MY history in IE, well lets just say its huge so that was no help). I came to think, hey someone MUST have written a utility to inspect your “Temporary Internet files” (IE Cache), you probably know you cant just ‘browse’ down there yourself and get anything meaningful, well anyway, sure enough after a bit of poking around I found a very decent tool (decent because a preview function in this util would have been to die for, but hey this is quite ok).
Get it here (its freeware, yes nice I know);

He has even developed a few other utilities for this area so poke around a bit on his site. His site is even mentioned earlier in my blog as he also makes some VERY COOL security utilities, and hey it makes sense some of these “Temporary Internet Files” utilities could be used for crude security inspection.
So you did not grow up with MS-DOS 3.2 like the rest of us, and when it comes to copying files you stick to the good old Windows Explorer. Well that is all well and good, however if you suddenly need to copy a LARGE number of files or some very large files this can become an issue, the error handeling capabilities of Windows Explorer just aint that great.
You may have heard about Robocopy, a cool little – rather old by now – utility from Microsoft. Robocopy stands for Robust file copy, and it has the ability to mirror directories event down to ntfs rights, very nifty (I have used it since the good NT4 days) however it’s a good old MS-DOS commandline utility so you have to write pages with switches to tweak it just for your task.
To my amazement however I just realized that Microsoft actually released a GUI for the util back in 2006 
well well, so now there is no excuse not to use it and save yourself a lot of time and pain..

Now Robocopy is a VERY nice utility and still the most reliable I know of, however as mentioned in an earlier post Terracopy is quite a competitor, and I would be sure not to miss giving it a go too (its somewhat easier to work with).
