Delphi fast file copy

Question

I\'m writing an app that supposed to copy a bunch of files from one place to another. When I\'m using TFileStream for the copy it is 3-4 times slower than copying the files

You can have Explorer do it for you via SHFileOperation() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762164(VS.85).aspx (example code doing it from delphi: http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/d20free/fileop11.zip)
