The solution is never use Windows explorer to manipulate Workbench projects or project files.
Use the Workbench Project Explorer instead.
Someone else has already described how to Import projects that are not already in your Workspace.

If you want to make a copy of a project that already exists in your workspace:

1) in the Project Explorer, right-click the project and select Copy in the pop-up context menu
2) in the Project Explorer, right-click in the white space and select Paste in the pop-up context menu -- this will pop up a Copy Project dialog box
3) in the Copy Project Dialog, type in the name you want for the copied project -- the default name will be "Copy of <whatever>" just like in Windows Explorer.

(You can also click on the project (to highlight it) and then use CTRL-C to copy and CTRL-V to paste)

Note that either way, the Copy Project dialog will have "Use default location" checked by default -- leave it checked.
