Say in C drive you have a folder named test3, and in that folder you have 5 sub-folders called t1, b2, c3, h4, k5. Also in C: you have a file called test1.txt. Typing the following at the command prompt:

for /R C:\test3 %a in (.) do copy C:\test1.txt %a

will copy the file C:\test1.txt to folder C:\test3 and any sub-folder in C:\test3 (so now t1, b2, c3, h4, and k5 will have test1.txt in it).
Exaxtly. People just don't know how to do things and then blame the OS. You can't expect MS developers to make a button for every task that they can think of.
