Re^3: How to sync a UNC path to a USB memory stick in Windows?

What version of Windows are you using? I'm on Windows XP Professional 2002, and I can't select text with the mouse until I do the Edit->Mark. Ah, well, chalk it up to another inconsistency between versions of Windows.

(And to think that people complain about minor variations of various versions of *nix...)

Thats because you have not enabled "quick edit mode". Click the system menu on a console window(top left), then Properties->Options->QuickEditMode. Then you'll be able to drag mark using the left button, copy with the right (when marked), and paste with the right button (when there is something in the paste buffer). When you click OK, you'll be offered the choice to enable it for just this window, or for all console windows.
