Y'know those download managers that allow resuming etc.
well a simular utility for windows copy, would be IMO very usefull for copying large files to a separate partition, harddrive or removable storage device.
preferably with entries into the context menu (right click menu for the newbies ;) )
anyone a programer, and up to the challenge :p
maybe i should patent this :D

Not possible as you have already disclosed the idea. ;)
Maybe someone at Redmond could sort out this 'feature'.
Another annoying one, while we're at it, is when you log on to Windows everything stops while the network drives connect. If you have to entrer a password or one of them is unavailable nothing happens, it just sits there.

How much is it worth to you ? :D
Just kidding, if I've got some spare time this weekend I might have a go....
I'd always wanted somthing along these lines, after a lot of searching I found:

NOTE: You use right-click and drag to activate it.
Doesn't 'drag and drop' do much the same thing? :?

No as you can't pause. I can sympthasise on how inconvenient it can be not being able to stop and resume on large data transfers.
