batch file to copy to many folders

Comment:

I am curious to find out how this can be done with a batch (.bat) file on Vista. I need to be able to copy two folder files into numerous folders all on a mapped drive at W. The folders are named based on the clients name, which means the names are like aaa acctg, a&e inc, bat inc and so on. How do I make it so the batch file copies the folders from my c drive into all the folders on the w drive and not overwriting any existing information within the folders on the W drive already.
