Robocopy does not copy the root folder and its time stamp

robocopy

Robocopy does not copy the root folder and its time stamp – it copies all subdirectories and files (when the appropriate options are set) and there seems to be no option/argument to tell Robocopy you want the root folder itself and its time stamp or attributes to be copied verbatim also.

So say I want I want to copy C:/Brushes

Robocopy will copy all its subdirectories and files into the destination, but not the Brushes folder itself, with all associated attributes and time stamp.

You understand what I am asking? This is pretty basic and Robocopy seems to lack a option for it. People have posed the question before in various forums but as far as I'm concerned, no one has answered the question.

robocopy %1 "C:\DestinationDirectory\%~n1" /E /V /DCOPY:T /LOG:"C:\DestinationDirectory\Copied.txt" /R:10 /W:30

Drop a folder onto the bat or use in Send To. It will create folder with name & time stamp of source directory and copy all files.
