Harold, there is nothing wrong with your paste feature. The command
window or command line doesn't work with copy-paste so you must use the
move command instead.
See this MS Technet page for a complete list with examples

One thing I found recently that is so helpful is to drag the address bar
location from windows explorer to the command window to save myself all
the typing. I hate typing and drilling down through numerous levels is
really time consuming :)
