Running a Scheduled Task

G

How can I copy a file from one drive to another every
time I log in to XP Pro?

I thought about putting the command in a .txt or .ini
file, but can't get Task Scheduler to do any more than
open the .ini in Notepad!

I know this is really "noddy" and hope that the basics
group is the right place to post.

Cheers, Gibbo.

Open NOTEPAD and write down the COPY or XCOPY command-line that does
what you want. For details open a DOS prompt and type
COPY /?
XCOPY /?
Save the file as FILECOPY.BAT and then create a new Scheduled Task for
any application. Open the Properties for the new task and overwrite
the command-line so that FILECOPY.BAT is started instead.
