Windows 8
-basics-copy-move-rename-and-delete

If you are interested to read about the development of Windows 8, here is some info "Improving our file management basics copy, move, rename, and delete"

http//blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/08/23/improving-our-file-management-basics-copy-move-rename-and-delete.aspx

The emphasis on copying and transferring files might harvest useful evidence if a separate list is maintained when copying has occurred and an attempt to copy to a destination (folder) is maintained in the Conflict Resolution dialogue.

There might also be some re-newed discussion about corroborating intentional deletion. Do any of you remember the case of R .v. Porter and the case transcript where the Judge gave a step-by-step guide as to what may amount to intentional deletion to get delete material. How do you think this statement might impact on a Court's findings?

"Finally, in addition to these big improvements, we’ve also done a thorough scrub and removed many of the confirmation dialogs that you’ve told us are annoying or feel redundant (i.e. “are you sure you want to move this file to the recycle bin?” or “are you sure you want to merge these folders?”) to create a quieter, less distracting experience."

I really, really want to get my paws on the file which stores the "currently being copied" list.

Oh God.. the possibilities!

Mmmmmm - so when asked the question "did the bad guy copy any confidential files to external media?" we'll at last be able to stop saying "Windows doesn't track file copying"?

And if the the new list will tell us which device (as per USBStor) is being copied to……………….

* bump - wakes up from dreaming*

I read through the blog post…maybe I missed it, but what is the name and location of the file where Windows 8 tracks file copy operations?

There's none announced - but given you can pause and resume copy operations I am assuming it will be hidden in a jumplist somewhere.

Of course, it's possible it's not going to be stored anywhere, but a man can dream, right? )

*dreams of a "history of copied files" list, along with timestamps and thumbnails, in Windows 8 AppData*

It looks like the process of copying will change with new explorer and ribbon
