Why does FolderClone appear to lock up when running certain tasks?
Are you certain that the program is locked? It may appear to be non-responsive for a few minutes, but generally will resume if allowed to continue. The ‘Not Responding’ status in Task Manager does not always indicate that the program is locked – sometimes the program’s status will change. This is especially true of programs developed using Microsoft’s Visual Basic. Visual Basic does not create multi-threaded applications. This means that VB apps can only do one thing at a time. If the task at hand is a large one or there is a bottleneck in the system somewhere, the program can appear to be locked. The vast majority of the time, it is not locked and becomes responsive again if allowed to continue.
