If it does not first make a complete list of files and folders, it cannot ask you about merging or overwriting/renaming objects. By knowing the status of the files and folders (eg file/dir-names, attributes, sizes, etc.), Windows is able to provide you with options for handling conflicts and hidden/system files. If your problem is with the first part, then as others have mentioned, you could use a third-party tool to just copy/move files and folders right away, but be aware that there are some advantages to using the built-in method (ie, pre-enumeration) instead of doing it blindly like how it was done in previous versions of Windows. ![]() (In fact, it must copy or move some files so that it can gauge the average read/write speed for use in the estimate calculation merely knowing the number of files/folders is not sufficient). The Time remaining line will be updated once it has finished calculating, but the files are already being moved/copied. If your issue is with the second part, then there is no need to worry. The first phase does indeed happen before any file operations are actually performed, but the second one happens while the files are being copied/moved and constantly updated as it progresses (thus the remaining time may go up or down). ![]() There is an initial phase in which the files and folders to be copied or moved are enumerated, and a second phase in which the remaining time is estimated. There are two phases in the calculation of remaining time of Windows Vista/7’s file-operation dialog.
