>>Hey guys, is there any way of doing a copy or move(rename) file that doesn't halt execution? I move some big files accross the network (8-10 mins each to move) and would like the filesystem to take over and let my program get on with stuff and just be able to poll the directory every 30 secs to see if it's all copied/moved over. I can do it by creating an out of process object just for moving files around but that seems a bit overkill.

Thats what I meant by I could creating an out of process object, I just thought there may be a nicer way, a win32 call or a way of just telling windows to move a file for me that would return straight away and do the move in the background.
