yeah, i had a look but it hasn't been updated for some time (since 2001) so i'd stay put for mouser's context-menu thingy, which sounds very promising... ;-)

tks anyway...
best regards,

skywalka:
It still works fine.

sorry to revive an old thread...

Update: Create .bak by Serenity does the trick... and has no side-effects on WinXP
"Create .bak" makes a copy of the selected file and gives it an additional .bak extension like:
file.exe --> file.exe.bak

If a folder was selected, this makes a copy of the folder including all of its contents:
/folder/file.txt --> /folder.bak/file.txt

Create .bak will automatically overwrite files of the same name unless /safe is specified in the command line,
eg: "C:\Program Files\Create .bak\createbak.exe" "/safe" "%1"

I'll have to give that Create .bak a try.

I've traditionally held Ctrl (easy to hit--it's in the corner) and dragged the file/folder.  This forces a Copy.

Additionally, Shift forces Move, while Alt forces Shortcut.

These are all very handy to know.

yes i agree, it'll come in very handy to know the short-cuts. but for me, having a gui option is a safety net, in case fingers slip...  ;)
btw, serenity has complemented "Create .bak" with "Convert to .bak" and "Unbak".
