We tested the program by copying a 1.73GB folder full of images, audio files, and other documents first we used the Windows copy function, and then we tried it with ExtremeCopy. There are also buttons to pause and skip. A dialog displays a progress meter with the percentage copied and both the time elapsed and time remaining.

As long as it's set as the default copier, you don't even have to think about it to use it just copy a file as you normally would, and the program springs into action. Here, users can choose to set ExtremeCopy as Explorer's default copier and keep it on top, as well as have it minimize to the task tray, write log files, verify data copy upon completion, close the window after verification, and play a sound when the copy is done. The program has no real interface of its own, aside from a configuration menu. Although when we tried it the program didn't reach "up to eight times the speed of the Windows copying function" as the publisher claims it can, it still offered a meaningful improvement over the native Windows feature.

This easy-to-use program can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to copy files. Fortunately, there's ExtremeCopy Free (32-bit). Copying large files can be a tedious and time-consuming task.
