| | Copy files with folders Does anyone know if there is a way to copy files with their respective folder locations? I'm looking to do a Windows Search, and copy and paste the files found to another location but I need the folder structure of the original file to be copied with the file, so that its original location is intact. i.e. if Windows Search finds someting in C:\Users\User1\Documents\File.docx then we want it to copy and paste to D:\SearchResults\Users\User1\Documents\File.docx Is this possible? Thanks beforehand, Jacques |

| | Re: Copy files with folders If you manually select the files to copy, you can write a simple cmd script, and drag the file onto it. Something like this: md d:\searchresults\%~p1 && copy %1 d:\searchresults\%~p1 Or, write a shell extension (right click handler or SendTo target - a bit more complicated) -- pa Jacques Latoison wrote: Quote: > Does anyone know if there is a way to copy files with their respective > folder locations? > > I'm looking to do a Windows Search, and copy and paste the files found > to another location > but > I need the folder structure of the original file to be copied with the > file, so that its original location is intact. > > > i.e. if Windows Search finds someting in C:\Users\User1\Documents\File.docx > then we want it to copy and paste to > D:\SearchResults\Users\User1\Documents\File.docx > > > Is this possible? > > Thanks beforehand, > > Jacques |

| | Re: Copy files with folders I want it to get its info from the Windows Search itself, meaning, it runs a search (which would include a content search) and copies the files, with folder structure, to another location.
