Hold down the Ctrl key and click on each folder to highlight it. Then right-click while still on a highlighted folder and select Copy.

the ctrl key adds individual files to your selected files. To mass select, hold down your SHIFT key and select the area of files you want to have selected. Shift key = selects mass files and adds them to your selected list. Ctrl key = selects individual files and adds them to your selected list.

it does work with folders and files. Hold shift down then either select the files you want by clicking each row or by holding down your left mouse button and dragging the selection box around what you want to select.

Follow response 2 and 4 about drawing the box around items and then on left pane select copy the selected items, and then just put them into the folder you want. I just did it and it works for files and folders.

Thought I was going crazy for a minute. Turns out that it only works in "My Computer" and not in Windows Explorer. Bit strange.
