xcopy syntax help 1

[tekistry]

Hi I am using the below xcopy command in a batch file to copy the contents of the users desktop to a location on their 'H' drive:

xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\user.domain\Desktop"*.* /e/I/H/R/Y H:\desktop-backup

Problem is that it ends up copying all of the users documents and settings, not just the desktop.
I know it is a small syntax error, but can't see it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have just checked again -
It only copies directories, I need it to copy all the files !
Any ideas?

I would try this:

xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\user.domain\Desktop\*.*" H:\desktop-backup /E /L /H /R /Y

Thanks - but that's worse -
Nothing gets copied at all! - but I don't see why.
