If you're getting "file in use" there's not much you can do about that.

hi ezystvy
wot i want is a explorer type prog that when you are copying or moving lots of files from one folder to another and say file 20 out of 50 is damaged or in use with explore it stops the copy at that point i want a prog that will skip the damaged file and continue to copy or move the rest

I usually do this with XCOPY (Win2K/XP) or XCOPY32 (Win9x/ME) and switches. There's something still to be said about DOS.
