Last night I copied a program from folder A to folder B. It

Sounds like you didn't copy it but made a shortcut to it instead.
Windows 7 has symbolic links?
Symbolic links are designed to aid in migration and application
compatibility with UNIX operating systems. Microsoft has implemented
its symbolic links to function just like UNIX links.
:
Symbolic links are available in NTFS starting with Windows Vista.
