Is there a way to copy a folder automatically?

For example, if I wanted to make a copy of the history
file to another location, can I do it without actually
copying and pasting the folder or without creating a
shortcut?
 
Negative, since this folder can not be redirected as with the My Documents folder.

If your main concern is to automate this process, you can either set a NTBackup in Task Scheduler to backup the C:\Documents and Settings
\user\Local Settings\History directory. Or you can create a batch file using the xcopy command to automatically copy this directory whenever
you choose to execute this batch file.

Hope this helps.
