Overwrite Favorites desktop -> laptop

[Metallo]

I have a home newtwork:

1) Desktop (Master) Wired
2) Laptop (Salve) Wireless

I'd like my laptop to overwrite its Favorites with the desktop ones when
shutting down the pc.

I tryed the DOS xcopy function but without success, so far:

1) I shared my desktop Favorites
2) I mapped the shared folder on my laptop assigning the Z:\ letter
3) xcopy Z:\ C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites

Well, when I click the .bat file, nothing happens and I don't know why.

Can you help me finding a proper and clean solution or maybe use another way
to reach the same target?
It looked simple to do, but eventually it is not.

Thank you!

First make sure that you can access the files on Z:

Then try: xcopy /y Z:\*.* C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites

Hi Dough,

Yes, I can access Z:\ without any problem.

First I tried your script, but again nothing happened.
Then I tried adding ""

xcopy /y Z:\*.* "C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites"

What it does, it copies only the links under Z:\, for instance, MSN.com,
Radio Station Guide, the default ones. It does not copy any subfolder.

Any idea why?

Thank you

Alex,

Try adding "/s".
xcopy /s /y Z:\*.* C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites

Unfortunatly, it doesn't work either

I'm afraid I will have to look for alternative programs.

Thanks for your help
