   All it takes for file copies to be performed correctly is to use the =
CopyFile or CopyFileEx APIs.  It doesn't get much easier than this.

  Incorrect info! If you use Explorer to copy a file, all streams will
  also be copied (provided the destination is NTFS). Some other tools
  (e.g. ZTree) use more primitive copying techniques, and a copied file
  will not include ADS.
