Apparently, this doesn't work anymore.

Windows 10 was hit with the update KB4015217 in April 2017, and after this, Karen's Replicator are no longer able to create folders on Windows 10 disks. If the folder to replicate already exists, it works, but if it has to create new folders as part of the replication process, it fails... :-(
