Hi,
I'm just curious to find out how to copy folders without content. I have
over 75 folders (vendors) in a 2008 folder (with files in them). I would like
to copy the folders, but not the items in the folders, since the vendors are
staying the same and I need to set them up for 2009.
Thanks.
 
I believe the command XCOPY can do this, provided you give it the
correct arguments.

Open a command prompt [Start > Run > type: cmd > OK] and enter this command:

xcopy /?

There's a blank space between the word xcopy and the "/".

This will display all the command line switches for xcopy. For futher
details, Google is your friend.

Following Leonard's suggestion for xcopy the switches you need are /t /e
