Thank you very much for the reply.
It is the progress window, a sample picture is attached.
In other words, I start the copy process and the copy window is visible, I then minimise this window to continue other work and it is gone and copy progress appears in the bottom rhs area as a bar.
My query was to have the copy window once started the copy process, to have it automatically minimise itself and only come back visible if an error occurs, or until the process completes and the close window option is then working.
I hope to have explained this query?
Once again it seems the Multicommander is a magnificent piece of work and I am sure to discover many features not immediately obvious to a beginner like myself however I can sense the many configuration options have a powerful engine under the hood.
thanks
