I didn't try using 'put URL' as I might be copying folders. I just  
modified the rev handlers to use robocopy on Vista and put them into  
my own libraries. I imagine put URL would not break though as it uses  
the system calls (internet libraries I believe).

So even if you paste into My Documents it moves them into My Pictures  
behind your back? Interesting feature.
