I am considering upgrading my work computer to use windows 8 as the new file transferring feature seems very useful. Unfortunately after installing windows 8 on my home pc to test it out, the files are being transferred in separate dialogs as opposed to this image provided by microsoft.
As I am transferring files constantly a single transfer dialog would make things much less confusing. Does anyone know what settings to change to make file transfers appear in the same window?
To make file transfers appear in the same window you need to transfer files locally.
This is because a network connection can break out at anytime.

How do Antiviruses such as AVG detect files accessed by specific programs such as explorer.exe?
How can this monitoring of which process accessing which files be done in VB.NET?
Yes, FileSystemWatcher springs to mind.
With further API calls, you could theoretically write your own AV tool and hook into all file access. But this probably only deasible with C/C++.
You could turn on File System Auditing and use VB.Net to parse the torrent of events in the Audit Event Log.

I'm trying to upload one larger file to a web server - using CUTEftp Professional + VOIP Internet connection via Wi-Fi. File size is 136MB (it is a video).
It breaks up over and over. At some point it stops uploading and starts again from beginning.
Anyway, any ideas, suggestion about any upload manager, software which I can use due to these circumstances?
Thx.
Why don't you try free FileZilla instead of CuteFTP? It supports upload resume. Just search FTP Client Upload Resume in google and you'll find a lot of other FTP clients. But I personally suggest FileZilla, it supports upload resume feature. If upload breaks in middle, it will continue.

Let's say I'm downloading a website to my computer via FTP. In my FTP client, I select all of the files and folders in the website's root folder and begin downloading them to an empty folder on my desktop. Halfway through the transfer, I'm interrupted by a prompt asking me whether I want to replace such-and-such file or folder. Why does this happen?
It's just something that I've noticed over the years. And I never know what the right answer is when I'm in the middle of transferring thousands of files. I usually say "yes", but then I doubt the integrity of the copy. It happens sporadically when I'm downloading or when I'm uploading. I assume it's not a bug in my FTP client (FileZilla), or else it's a very, very persistent bug.
Edit: OK, so my question was switftly and mercilessly closed as off topic. Where should I have posted it? Can it be moved there?
This may happen if you're using windows locally, and linux remotely.
Since linux allows for case sensitive filenames, and windows does not. Your FTP may have files like "Images.jpg" and "images.jpg" and "IMAGES.jpg", but all three of these are the same to windows, so you will be prompted to overwrite them when more than one of them is downloaded.

It can this is a silly question, but is it possible to handle files on Windows (XP, Vista or 7) like on the Mac?
I clarify: on the Mac you can rename or move a file even if it is currently used by an application, on Windows you simply cannot! There is a way to change this behavior with some black magic on the Registry?
If you are interested You can read about File locking and specific implementations in Windows and Mac here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking
I use unlocker to get around this problem in Windows. It's quite handy
http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/
No, there is no builtin solution to your problem and I haven't heard of any tool accomplishing that.
It's not possible because the file handling is done in a different way, which is also strongly influenced by the features of the different filesystems.

How can i force Windows XP to delete file that is currently being used by some application?
You have to close that application first. There is no way to delete it, if it's used by some application.
UnLock IT is a neat utility that helps you to take control of any file or folder when it is locked by some application or system. For every locked resource, you get a list of locking processes and can unlock it by terminating those processes. EMCO Unlock IT offers Windows Explorer integration that allows unlocking files and folders by one click in the context menu.
There's also Unlocker (not recommended, see Warning below), which is a free tool which helps locate any file locking handles running, and give you the option to turn it off. Then you can go ahead and do anything you want with those files.
Warning: The installer includes a lot of undesirable stuff. You're almost certainly better off with UnLock IT.
