    Robocopy, or plain old xcopy. Personally, I use xcopy:

    C:> xcopy <sourcedir> <targetdir> /e /i

    targetdir doesn't need to exist yet, xcopy will create it. /e tells it to
    create empty directories if it finds any, and also to do all subdirectories.
    And /i says to be intelligent about the targetdir being a file or a
    directory.

    xcopy /?

    will give you all the possible options.

    Hi,
    Maybe i missing your point but: rightclick / selecting cut (not remove) /
    going to the new place / rightclick and copy.
    That action is placeing the files submaps and so on.
    It should be done, this is something already for years in windows.
    but maybe i missing your point?
    Regards
    Huib
