    Built into the OS? hardly, but it is convenient since it's been around since DOS 2.0 back in the early 80's

    it's no longer a dos program. It functions by accessing windows dlls now. And xcopy32 is the functioning version you would want to use. It has more functions available than the "compatibility" version xcopy.

    Notice that according to it's own properties window, it is in fact part of windows.

    I installed TeraCopy, and I love it...

    It replaces the windows file copy window, so whenever I copy or move files it will use this program.

    Even though there are small things they could improve on it (like minimize to tray, and transparency), other than that it's perfect.

    My mistake, I don't use Vista so I didn't know that yet, but the one in XP is old school still.
