Back in March 2009, Microsoft released a Freeware tool called RichCopy 4.0. RichCopy is essentially RoboCopy with a nice GUI on it.
I’ve used the tool a few times in testing, and it’s not that bad. Personally, I have little need for a tool like this since most of my large data transfers are wrapped in a batch file. However, for those of you who prefer GUI tools, you should give RichCopy a try.

Let me know what you think!

I was beginning to think RichCopy may not be right for me because like you I was wanting to build a script around the whole copying operation, so I needed a command interface rather than a GUI. However I saw on a different forum that RichCopy does provide a command line interface; just go to Help –> Copy Options –> Command Options. It provides a list of copying switches to use for the command line, including switches for its threading capability (the main advantage I see with using RichCopy). May want to go back and see the Non-GUI stuff RichCopy has to offer.

I think you need to take a look at Gs Richcopy 360, it is the best GUI alternative to Robocopy I have ever seen, the tool is quick , easy and robust
