- TITLE :File Manager Cannot Cancel a Single File Copy Operation
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you are copying a large file in Windows NT File Manager, the
- Cancel button in the Copying dialog box may not cancel the operation.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- File copy operations are single threaded; therefore, while copying a
- single large file, you may be unable to cancel the operation because
- the keyboard is not checked. This problem occurs copying to both the
- floppy disk and the hard disk; however, it is more noticeable when
- copying to a floppy disk because that operation is slower.
-
- NOTE: If you copy multiple files, you can cancel the operation between
- individual file copy operations.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
- and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
- problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
- Base as it becomes available.
