Replace COPY with XCOPY.

Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
Hi SG,
Thanks for your reply! The contents of my batch file is: PATH C:\; C:\Windows; C:\Windows\System32 COPY C:\Program Files\BioClinic\*.* Just two simple lines and this batch file was working fine in the old laptop computer that was running Windows XP. I copied the same batch file to the brand new DELL latop that came with Windows Vista and NOT working.

Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
There is no destination given in your file and there's no need for the PATH
command. Try this: COPY (or XCOPY) source destination Use the "/y" switch to avoid the overwrite prompt. "CMD "COPY" command not working in Vista" soft.com wrote in message ...

Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
Bob,
Thanks for pointing out my omission! Actually it is : "COPY C:\Program Files\BioClinic\*.* F:\" ,where the "F:" being my USB memory stick. I thought may be the Vista came with no "COPY" command available and was looking for Vista CD but it was not in the box. But you have a good suggestion to try with XCOPY and I will do that when I get to the laptop next time because it's not with me now.

Check out 'Robocopy'. Much more powerful and with many more options.
