The perfect solution is: Don't try to copy files to system folders.

Seriously, it is a bad idea unless you are installing software, in which case the copy will be done for you if you use a deployment project. At any other time write access to these folder is seriously discouraged as it looks badly like virus or similar malicious activity.

'C:\Windows\System32' is operating system files location and needs additional privilege to copy any file via code over there.

Further, you should not copy any file from code to this location - it's not suggestible based on security concerns. You should try to copy your files to some other folder/location.
