Hi,

anyone can help me with this?

I do have a folder with hundreds of subfolders and subsubfolders.
There is ONE file which should be copied into every single one of
these folders...

I can't believe that there isn't a trick to do this in Windows
Explorer, without having to program a batch file or similar?

It's easy to display a list of all subfolders (by searching through
the folder), but I would still have to copy that file manually into
every single one of them...

Thanks for your help!
