Im trying to use the simply copy command and it wont work in XP.

I need to :

COPY Q:\home\blaming\profiles\GW_Bush\*.js H:\home\Brakes\My Documents\My Music"\ /Y

How come this simply command wont work-what am I missing?
Don't tell co-workers your going for a Cert that they don't have. They may think your trying to take their job.

    That's an awful lot of directories in that command, i'd doulbe check the spelling/syntax on all of them. I just executed a similar command on my Win2K box to test, and it worked fine.

    try running it in cmd box, not command, and not the run dialog box.

    Since they invented xcopy.exe I never used copy again... icon_wink.gif
