Hi, Jack.
What are you really asking?  As worded, your question "does not compute".
;^{  To copy a folder without copying its contents is like trying to move a
box without moving whatever is in it.
If you would like to create an empty similar folder in another volume or
parent folder, navigate to that new location and right-click to get a
context menu from which you can choose New | Folder, then name it whatever
you like, including the name of the original folder.  If you want to
duplicate the folder/subfolder in another location, you can open a "DOS"
window and use Xcopy.exe with the /t switch.  (As with other commands in a
"DOS" windows, type xcopy /? to see all the switches and what they do.)  But
I don't know how to do this as easily in the GUI.
