AutoDoublerª 2.0 comes with CopyDoublerª which allows compressed and faster copying. > > The only trouble is when i'm trying to select my uncompress folders.

There are two ways to exclude a file/folder from compressing. In the AutoDoubler control panel using the exclude function you can select the file/folder by name or label. When you highlight a folder the exclude button on the right becomes a open button but the exclude button under the listing will select a folder. You can also append a ".dc" (thats a period followed by lowercase dc) to exclude files/folders/drives/volumes from compression. for all FGS products FIFTHGEN@aol.com for AutoDoubler & DiskDoubler techsupport@salient.com
