Copy mutiple files to same drive

Another option is to use a 3rd party file copy tool that allows you to add files to be copied to a list- creating a job- perhaps Fastcopy (free personal) or Teracopy (free with restricted facilities for personal use) for example.

Teracopy (free versions) allow you to queue files.

Fastcopy (portable, free) can also queue files but you need to copy file/ folder paths into the source list.

Select all of them, and drag them all together. Windows will copy them one by one

How do I do this when files are in different folders

It won't work with different folders.. Use Teracopy, as Dalchina and Callender suggested.

Can you give us an example of files? Are the names random? It is doable with script, but is probably more work with it than just use some app.

1. I find the search idea works (I happened to rt click the found items and dragged them to the destination).

2. Interestingly the search idea for items from different folders also works... if you ..
- rt click the files or folders found
- click Send to
- click Folder
and choose a folder.

(I have Send to folder configured- you may not...)
