Ok, so if you are connecting to a 2000 Server, use RDPCLIP as referenced in
this link.

BUT, this link says it will not work with the RDP client included with XP.

Is it possible to install RDPCLIP, and use the old client (that it was
designed to work with,) to connect to Windows 2000 systems, and not "break"
the RDP client that comes with XP in the process?

I've tried TSDropCopy from AnalogX but it is very temperamental,
i.e.,doesn't work most of the time without stopping and starting it several
times, only allows transferring one file at a time(*), and changes the
date/time to the time of copy (*unless you zip everything).

If you install RDPClip onto your 2000 server, then people
using the old RDP client will be able to cut and paste to
the server as you desire. However, because you are using
Windows 2000, XP clients will be unable to cut and paste
unless you use something like TSDropCopy.

everything).

There are other options out there other than TSDropCopy.
Take a look around, you might find a better solution.

Perhaps you did, but I don't think you answered my question fully. Can the
old and new client software co-exist on a client PC?

What about creating a folder on your PC and putting all the old MSTSC.EXE
(and other stuff) in the folder, then using it to connect to Windows 2000
(which has RDPCLIP on it)?
 
As you suggested, making a separate folder for this type
of thing should work correctly. Just make sure you put
the mstscax.dll file in with the mstsc.exe in the folder.
