Look at unsing the builtin XCOPY from a command prompt. If this
is a regular
thing that you need to do, write a little command script and execute it
through Task Scheduler.
XCOPY can exhibit certain irritating limitations, for example,

There's a better commercial version, XXCOPY (with free version for private
use):

ROBOCOPY on the Windows XP Support Tools is the tool that I use when
I normally would've used XCOPY, or XCOPY32:

The article you refer to applies to Windows 95 and DOS, not XP. I've found
no problems copying long filenames with XCOPY on XP. And since it's included
with the OS, it's free as well.
