Batch File to copy files to a current user directory

[colin81]

Hi

Can anyone tell me the command to use on a batch file to copy a file to a users local directory i.e. I want to move Words normal.dot from a server to the users directory of C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. Usename can be any user on the system or the user logging on who has this folder created.

Thanks for reading
Colin

You can try the following:

COPY H:\Templates\NORMAL.DOT "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" /y

The %USERNAME% should be replaced by the user's account name and the /y is a YES override prompt to overwrite the existing file.



"In space, nobody can hear you click..."

Oops.. add-on:

If your source is longer than 8.3 characters, you will need to put those in quotes also : ex: COPY "C:\Templates\normal.dot" ...
