Tested on a PC without Virtual PC : after install of IE 7 the problem is there too :/
Note that it does not happen all the time. I have to play with few small files to see it. Sometimes it comes only after then 10th copy/delete.

Delay is after, not before.

I can try on a PC that does not have VPC... I'll install IE7 on another PC at my work tomorrow

I made the test in Virtual PC. So this was a clean XP (fresh install), nothing resident, default video drivers, etc. I installed SP2, still wortking fine. I installed IE7 (downloaded separately, not from Windows Update). And I have this delay problem. But less often than on my other PCs. I would say...

Nvidia GeForce 7 on a PC, Matrox G550 on another.
I can try to disable any resident utility, but there are nearly none (and none common between the two PC actually... so I really do not see what causes the trouble :/)
I will do tomorrow a test on a clean XP in Virtual PC.

No, but it is hard to say: Windows Explorer is so slow compared to Salamander; if it runs a little slower than usual is not easy to notice

Yes, all available updates are installed (one PC with SP2 installed, the other was a XP with built-in SP2)

I made the test: this morning I did a Windows Update on my PC at work to install IE 7 like I did on my home PC: now Salamander has this problem here too (just before this update it was running fine). So I guess that it is caused by the installation of IE 7 or one of the latest updated published by M...

I also noticed similar problems recently (in addition of delete/copy/move, it also sometimes happens when exiting from PictView), but I did not install anything on my PC recently, except the RC2 of Salamander 2.5 and IE 7 (but that one is maybe difficult to remove :/) I do not have any skinning soft...

Shift+Del It's currently used for inverting the default delete action - with trash, without trash. 8) Sure, but what is the problem with that? If you use the trash the deletion is done by Windows, which handles junctions correctly... The bug only occurs when you delete by bypassing the trash, cf my...

Shift+Del coult delete the folder used for link without emptying its contents. Creating these junction could be nice too, maybe with the drag&drop contextual menu since it is already created by Salamander (the NTFSlink extension is hidden in the "Other..." menu item). It is possible to...

Overlay icons is not a big problem I think, though it would of course be nice and useful to have them. But the NTFS junction are a feature that exists and works without extra tool. The extension is there only to allow to create them easily (the only junction that you can create is a link folder->par...

Actually here it uses the icon that I defined for shortcuts, but since it is similar to the one that I defined for hardlinks I never noticied that it was the wrong icon. I am sorry, but I don't understand: So, does your Salamander show overlay icons from NTFS Link Windows Shell Extension, or not? I...

Actually here it uses the icon that I defined for shortcuts, but since it is similar to the one that I defined for hardlinks I never noticied that it was the wrong icon.

I use this tool too.
I discuted about that with Petr (I think) by e-mail actually. On my system Salamander shows the same overlay icons that Windows do.
