Is it possible to copy files from resources to a new folder on Windows, can this be done using custom Java action? If so how can one refer the absolute path of resources when application is deployed?

It depends where you are running the application. Locally, you can do this, but if you deploy it to the Mendix Cloud it won't work because of the security restrictions. I wouldn't recommend trying to access files outside the resources folder.

What is your use case? There may be a different approach you can take such as using the SFTP module to copy files to an external location.
