Robocopy, or plain old xcopy. Personally, I use xcopy:

C:> xcopy <sourcedir> <targetdir> /e /i

targetdir doesn't need to exist yet, xcopy will create it. /e tells it to
create empty directories if it finds any, and also to do all subdirectories.
And /i says to be intelligent about the targetdir being a file or a
directory.

xcopy /?

will give you all the possible options.

Hi,
Maybe i missing your point but: rightclick / selecting cut (not remove) /
going to the new place / rightclick and copy.
That action is placeing the files submaps and so on.
It should be done, this is something already for years in windows.
but maybe i missing your point?
Regards
