Copying to a few folders at once
There are two ways to copy files to multiple destinations. To
copy to just several destinations simply list the multiple
targets in the Desintation(s) field of
any copy dialog that accepts a destination. For more about this
quick and easy method see

folders at once.
Copying to 10s, 100s, even 1,000s of folders at
once
The rest of this page describes how to copy to tens, hundreds
and even thousands of folders in one operation.
First: Copy the items you
want to distribute to the clipboard.

one or more files or folders
- Press
Ctrl+C, to copy
the selected items to the clipboard

If you are distributing to folders that are all
in the same root folder select them in Explore View.
- If you will be distributing to folders on multiple paths,
drives or even network drives, create a Dynamic Virtual Folder
that will contain your target folders.
(One great advantage of using a Dynamic Virtual Folder is
that you can save it to disk and use over and over again)
