  1. Copying and sending files in Windows 11 frustration


    Windows 11 still does not allow me to easily copy and send Word documents to folders and sub folders. In Windows 10, I could easily "send" a copy of a Word document to another folder or drive, locating subfolders. Now I am only able to send the document to the drive, not folders within the drive. For example, if I send from Documents to a flash drive and want to place it in a specific folder, I cannot. I can only send it to the flash drive, then have to navigate to the folder. I just downloaded and installed the newest update to Windows 11, thinking this problem would have been taken care of

    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
