What is the equivalent of "cp --verbose" on windows for copy?

Try xcopy instead. Perhaps something like:

xcopy /F "C:\My Folder\file.txt" D:\

From xcopy /?:

/F - Displays full source and destination file names while copying.

try xcopy /f <source> <dest>

from the usage summary:

/F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.

can't get too much more verbose than that on a copy operation.
