How to set the copy window to be expanded always in Windows 7?

Question

When copying files in Windows 7 there is an option to view more details where you can see the transfer rate and how much data is left for copying.

How can I set Windows to always show these details without needing to press the more details button?

Answer 1

I have been looking around and you're not the only one requesting this feature. But I fear this isn't possible unless you resort to third party software.

In which case I can recommend TeraCopy

TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, providing the user a lot of features:

• Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. - Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
• Pause and resume file transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
• Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
• Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
• Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.
• Full Unicode support.
• Windows 7 x64 support.
