1). Robust Transfers please. I really have no confidence in X2 transfer functions, I still use xp explorers copy or move for large transfers. see forum for issues with stream errors whilst transferring files. 2).

I have used windows Remote Desktop, and it works well, there is also Windows Remote Assistance, which I think is what you're looking for.

Logmein works well as remote desktop, I use that currently, less hassle to setup than windows RD.

Those tutorials are very good, and " If a picture always speaks a thousand words, then video speaks a million".
Moving all of them to the front page under "Tutorials" would be a great idea.

you must be in list view with restricted column widths. Well thanks to m$ you can't avoid it; if i prevent the first painting cycle sometimes it doesn't update at all, so it's definitely the lesser evil I am in list view, and I have lots'a files in some directories, so its quite annoying to have it...

Stop the automatic right-left scroll of folders in a Pane ?

Whenever I go up a level in a Pane it scrolls the contents quickly to right, left, then settles on the folder which was previously highlighted, how do i stop it from doing this quick left-right scroll ?

right, I think the problem is with my mp3 players filelisting, as I can only reproduce this with my mp3 player, and not when copying locally.

I am sorry to have troubled you with this spurious bug.

Thanks for helping me resolve it.

I cannot reproduce what you describe. AFAIK windoze normally cannot tolerate that and its native shell won't let it happen. Are you running an alternative shell? [edit/add]... or is the target 'folder' inside a compressed file? I do all my copy and pasting in X2, I move music folders/albums around ...

in HD1 I have a folder(x) with files a,b,c,d; If I then copy folder(x) from HD1 to HD2 which has a previous copy of the same folder(x) with files a,b,c it will merge the contents on HD2; file listing is then as follows
a
a
b
b
c
c
d

files a,b,c are identical prior to copy function

Why does "Overwrite if newer" merge folders ?

using X2's Copy To function and "Overwrite if newer" set under transfer options, it merges the contents of the new with the old, I understand overwrite to mean delete old and replace with new. If merging is the intended method for X2 to copy, why not call "overwrite" "Merge&...

I unistalled X2 including the registry settings, reinstalled it and d-clicked on the .reg file and wonders of wonders all my settings were restored, great.
