How to Copy a Windows Explorer Folder List

Windows Explorer is the file manage application in Windows that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) with which to access files and folders on your hard drive and on other drives on your computer. Access the folders and files through Windows Explorer and then you can copy them. When you make an electronic copy of a list of folders, you copy not only the folders themselves, but the files contained in the folders.

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Click "Start" on the taskbar, then click "Computer."

2. Step 2

   Double-click the C drive--or whichever drive the folder list resides on. Navigate the C drive to the folder list you wish to copy. Highlight the folder in the "Navigation" pane, which contains the desired folder list. The folder list you wish to copy appears in the "View" pane.

3. Step 3

   Click in the "View" pane on the top folder in the list you wish to copy. The folder will now be highlighted.

4. Step 4

   Press and hold the "Shift" key, then click the last folder in the list you wish to copy. Release the "Shift" key.

5. Step 5

   Right-click in the field of highlighted folders, then click "Copy."
