Hi Guys

I'm making a small app to backup some software I use called MediaPortal. I want to backup any setting selected by the user, folder locations, skin files etc etc.
Now I can get the app to copy files/folders with

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(skinFolder, desktopfolder, True)

but I want it to display some sort of list, like when you install something

C:\Program Files\etc\etc\etc\file.exe...copied

.
At the moment my form just freezes and says "Not Responding" until the folders are copied!

Any help would be much appreciated.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(skinFolder, desktopfolder, showUI:=FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs)

This does all most what I want!

I will leave it at that for now!

it is always healthy to add a

try
...
catch

statement to surround your block of quote especially in your case maybe he is not finding the directory that is why, in that case need to display an error so the user will know

If I understand you right the thing you want is to allow the program to copy the folders without freezing itself while doing it, to do that you'll need to use multi threading, here's a tutorial: http://forum.codecal...-basic-net.html
