Copy Just the Folder

Question

I wanted to Copy just a single folder at a time from one location to another Currently i hv to First go to the rename copy the name and come back to current location and create a new folder and paste the name

Just like TreeCopy Which copies folder complete structure is there anything through which i can speed up this process and just generate a single folder from a 3000+ Collection of Folders

How can i copy just one folder from one location to another without copying anything inside it neither content nor sub folders.

if you know the way let me know.

I know how hectic that work can get, but luckily there's an easy way around this.

Type in the following command in command prompt(cmd).

I think you need to have administrator rights for this.

xcopy “c:\users\cdwyer\documents\OriginalFolder” “c:\users\cdwyer\documents\NewFolder” /T /E

The command is xcopy and it takes two parameters, the path of original folder and the path of new folder you want to create with the original folder structure.

/T is just another parameter that ensures to only copy the folder structure, not the files.

/E is another parameter you can include to make sure empty folders are created.
