windows - Copying a folder in the command prompt -

i trying copy folder 1 directory in cmd in windows 7.

i have found commands copying individual files:

copy test.txt "c:\newlocation"

which works fine. trying this:

copy "c:\test" "c:\newlocation"

doesn't work. wants take contents of directory , move them over. there anyway copy folder , move opposed entire directory contents?

thanks.

use xcopy instead of copy:

xcopy "c:\test" "c:\newlocation" /s /e
