Copying folders from music library in Windows 7

Posted on 01/24/2010 8:25:57 PM PST by Born Conservative

I'm trying to copy MP3 folders from my Windows 7 music library to a removable USB drive. However, when I drag the folder from the right pane and try to drop it into the drive on the left pain, it only creates a link to the folder. When I right click on the folder, there is no copy command. Any suggestions?

Of course, you could sync the songs from the Windows Media Player to your USB drive; if you need the music in folders, you would have to organize that on the drive.

I can Right Click on any folder, anywhere and of any size and a ‘sendto’ option will show in the drop down with the option to send it to .. Wherever I want.
I have even created different locations in the ‘sendto’ option.
All this on Vista 64 and windows seven 64Bits.

For those that are interested:

Go to your “Run” box and type, shell:sendto
Your sendto folder will open and then you can Right Click in the folder to create a shortcut to wherever you wish.
Once you are done, whenever you Right Click on an item, your new location will show in the “Sendto” drop down.
