Bert -

If you open a Command Prompt and use COPY or XCOPY you'll see each file listed as it gets copied. It's pretty easy to tell where you are (if you can read fast enough).

Unfortunately, the mangled file management causes the more convenient XCOPY to require an enormous amount of memory (for what it does) and you often get an "interruption" or a "stall" instead of Windows "Explorer has stopped working and will be closed" (which I see far too often using Copy/Paste).
