Hi Tom.

I presume that you are trying to copy multiple folders.  This is one time 
when you are far better off to use My Computer rather than Windows Explorer 
to do your copying.

1.  Open up My Computer, select the drive you want to copy from, and press 
ENTER to open the drive.

2.  Make sure you have your View settings set for either List or 
Detail.  You can set this by pressing ALT+V to open the View menu, and then 
hit L for List or D for Detail.

3.  Navigate with your arrow keys to the first folder that you want to 
copy.  Navigating to it will select it.

3.  Now use CTRL+DOWN ARROW to navigate to the second folder that you want 
to copy, and when you get to it, press your SPACE BAR.

4.  Repeat step 3 as many times as you need to to select all of the folders 
that you want.  If you select the wrong one by accident, you can use 
CTRL+SPACE BAR to unselect it.

5.  When you have all the folders selected that you want, you can press 
CTRL+C to copy them to the clipboard.  You can tell which folders you've 
selected by pressing INSERT+SHIFT+NUM PAD 2 (or INSERT+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW if 
you prefer).


6.  Now, press the BACKSPACE to back out of your drive that you are copying 
from, and use your arrow keys to navigate to your flash drive, and press 
ENTER to open it.

7.  Press CTRL+V to paste, and sit back and let it run.

This procedure will get the folders, along with any child folders contained 
within and any files contained in the folders.

73, de Lou K2LKK
