I have some older visual basic programs I wrote that run every hour to transfer files between folders.
I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8. The VB programs work fine (compiled into EXE)
But occasionally when the copy operation of a file is delayed or lags in Windows, the mini progress window appears in the foreground (preparing to copy, x% complete).
This is annoying while I'm trying to work on my laptop.
On this thread, you can see a screenshot of what this progress windows looks like (similar not exact)

To copy files, I'm using
FileCopy oldfile, newfile

I also can use
bSuccess = ShellFileCopy(oldfile, newfile)

Is there any attribute I can set with either of these commands, to disable or minimize the progresss mini window during file transfers?

Alternately, is there another command or shell extention I can try, that does allow me to disable or minimize the progresss mini window during file transfers?

Thanks
