    I used to use the "Move file to" and "copy file to" features in Win10 explorer daily. Now they're gone and it's making me do extra steps.Why is MS making their product HARDER to use? Isn't the goal to make it more user friendly? Is there a work around or will there be a patch for this feature soon?Thanks.

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    What happened to the "Move File To" and/or "Copy File To" feature in Win11 explorer?

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

    If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.

    What happened to "Move To or Copy To"?: New to Windows 11, I can't find the handy Move To / Copy To options. There was a dropdown menu showing many other folders to choose from. Is this feature hidden--or no longer available? If so, how should I go about moving hundreds of photos from my camera to selected folders...
