Windows cmd: Copy over entire directory *including* parent directory. Solution without specifying same parent directory name

Question

In Windows, how do you copy an entire directory, INCLUDING the parent directory folder?

For instance, let's say we have the directory c:\Folder and want to copy it over to d: .

The only way right now would be: xcopy /E c:\Folder d:\Folder

Is there a way to do this without specifying the same end directory (Folder)?

I'm told that an application called RoboCopy can do it, however, I believe it's part of a series of server 2003/2008 tools -- I can't speak to its capabilities or whether it will work on your version of Windows. That said, there are a set of tools (basically UNIX commands ported to DOS) located here that will do what you need -- specifically the "cp" command. My apologies for not being able to assist further.
