It should be simple, but I can't seem to get it right. Unlike newer Windows versions, XP does not preserve folder dates with copy and paste. Objective: Copy all files and folders from one partition data to another from XP, preserving the folder date. The new partition has a different file system and a new cluster size, so clones aren't possible. It's possible to make a copy to an image and then unzip it, but that seems like a long time to copy 1 TiB and a lot of free space is required. I've seen several programs that copy files and folders while preserving the folder's backup date, but these programs don't copy to the root directory; they only copy to a single folder. Therefore, they wouldn't be suitable for maintaining a well-organized file allocation table and could cause problems with long filenames. These are: -Argentum Backup -Cobian Backup -Fbackup So, I decided to look for a program that copies files and folders to the root directory. I've tried over 20 programs, and it doesn't seem to exist. By example these do not retain the date: -Carifreed SimplySync Backup -Microsoft Richcopy -Microsoft Robocopy (command line) I've only gotten a little bit of success with XXclone (command line), but only halfway. It turns out that using /T only copies folders, not files. So I'd have to copy the folders first with xxcopy Q:\ K:\ /E /H /K /T And then the files with xxcopy Q:\ K:\ /E /H /K (Q: and K: are the drive letters) Are there commands in xxclone to copy one partition to another while preserving the folder's date? Is there a program with a graphical interface that can do this? I don't think I'm asking for anything special. I don't understand why it's so difficult... Edit: Achieved with Total Commander. You must first select "Copy date/time from directories" in the settings menu + copy/delete. Any other programs?

Windows NTFS Compression and Native Boot VHD/ VHDX? Issues or Conflicts? I am currently cleaning out my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1 for a 2 step upgrade > Win 8 > Win 8.1 and then will convert it to VHD. I have this \Windows\Installer folder that is taking a lot of space and seems to be unused mostly. Eventually, I wish to clean it out/ delete it or major stuff inside it. But, till then I was considering "compressing" option it as suggested here instead of delete/ remap right now. http://superuser.com/questions/23479/is-it-safe-to-delete-from-c-windows-installer http://superuser.com/questions/707767/how-can-i-to-free-up-drive-space-from-the-windows-installer-folder-without-killi If I do this right now (during Win 7 > 8 > 8.1) I am wondering this will cause any issues creatingin or running the VHD? I googled around for VHD and NTFS compression and did not find anything good or bad either way (with exception that Windows XP and VHD had some issues) http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2007/05/24/be-careful-with-vhds-and-windows-xp-compressed-folders.aspx -
The function of the cursor highlighting a file/folder row in Windows Explorer, if the cursor is placed anywhere within that row, appears to have been introduced after Windows XP. I frequently navigate around Windows Explorer using the keyboard as it's so much faster than using a mouse. As a result, quite often two entries are highlighted, which can lead to confusion; I've enabled the option 'Hide pointer while typing' in the Mouse control panel, but the issue still occurs. I've Googled around for a way of disabling this functionality, but have drawn a blank. Does anyone know of a way of disabling cursor highlighting in Windows Explorer? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to apologise if this has been asked before, but I searched and didn't find the answer I was looking for. In 1.2, the Windows 7 "setup folder" method of creating a USB installer seems to be missing (a previous beta version had that feature where you can point to a directory containing Windows 7 setup files/directories). Is that no longer supported in favor of ISO to USB or are there steps I am not aware of in creating a Windows Setup using a source from a directory? Please advise, thank you.
