Hi bob,

i could find the error yet. i set startime with this code:

GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&StartTime.ft);


As i said the the time which is already need till the process is finished
works fine. but there is one small thing i do not like. the time differents
fluctuates very much. so my application shows that the process will be ready
in 5 minutes, but one seconds later in takes 5 hours. this depends on if
there are many small files copying at the moment or larger files.

is there perhabs any better way to calculate the time which is still need
without these large time fluctuations. when i copy completly large folder
under windows the information how long the process still needs does not show
such much fluctuations. so there should be a better way.

any ideas?

phil
