CTRL+V different than rt clk/paste

[Wowbagger]

I have a directory structure as follows:

..\
..\dir 1
..\dir 2
....

I have a two files in .\ of which I need copies placed in each .\dir x

I select the two files and copy them to the clipboard.

If I right click on .\dir 1 then copies of the files are placed into .\dir 1

If I left click on .\dir 1 and press CTRL+V then I get multiple copies of my
files in .\ and nothing is copied to .\dir 1

Question 1: Why does CTRL+V behave differently than a right click and a
paste?

Question 2: Is there an easier way to put copies of the files into all of
the directories at once?

Using XP professional system and shared directories on a win2k server.

If you had double clicked .\dir 1 and then CTRL it would have placed it in
..\dir1

Question 2: Is there an easier way to put copies of the files into all of

Not all at once that I know of but instead of Copy & paste right click on
the file and drag it. When you release the button click "copy" from the menu
that appears.
