Had some trouble copying MP3s from Windows to my tablet, for email

I wonder why Microsoft includes that utility in Windows.

And you didn't name this utility because... ?

*******

Attributes are things like "Hidden" and "System", and
those can be handled with Attrib.

Permissions might be handled by Takeown, icacls, xcacls,
and so on.

Utilities you find on the Sysinternals page, originated
from when Sysinternals was an independent company. Microsoft
bought them, and the utilities are now served from a
technet page. The objective of the Sysinternals staff,
was to make useful utilities to cover "holes" not
covered by things Microsoft offered.

Microsoft has made some utilities of its own,
but generally the delivery mechanism is quite
irregular, and involves jumping through hoops.
Like, try and find a copy of devcon64 or
a copy of UVCView today...
