  1. Copy to and move to functions


    When I started using Windows 11 a few months ago, in the absence of dedicated buttons, I could use the copy to and move to functions in the Explorer right click menu. These options are no longer available and I can only copy and paste, a long and laborious method when copying or moving files. Is Microsoft intentionally trying to aggravate their users who choose to move files manually, because they're doing a mighty good job of it.

    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
