Hi

I have a Dell with Vista.

I have a flash drive that contains several thousand documents.

Once per week, I copy (not backup) the entire contents of my flash drive to my computer hard drive.

Takes too long.

Within a given week, I will change about 40 existing documents and create about 10 new documents.

I am looking for a VISTA routine that will identify the changed and new documents, and then copy only those documents to the computer hard drive (and overwrite the older documents).

I have tried various search criteria, but have not found this routine.

Can someone help?

Thanx in advance.

I have never used it but you could check out filemonkey and see if it will meet your needs. If not, just google something like 'copy only modified files'

Hi Davey

Thanx for the update. I looked at Karen's stuff. There are plenty of new items.

Now for another.

I used to have a defragmenter for my old Windows machine. It had beautiful graphics that would show progress, bad sectors, good sectors, etc.

I have run the VISTA one and cannot for the life of me tell what it is doing or has done.

Do you know of a graphics enhanced defragmenter?

I am a visual person and like to see what is going on.

Thanx.
