cop etc use ShellExecuteEx. It has more features.
FilecOPY ETC USE LOWER LEVEL api FUNCTIONS, LIKE CopyFileEx. They are slightly faster.
Also, on Vista ShellExecuteEx tries to activate its progress window, even if its hidden. For smaller files I removed the progress flag, but its difficult to calculate folder size, so when you copy folders you probably notice that currently active window is temporarily deactivated.
