Batch file to copy a file on Desktop

[Irshad Alam]

How to copy a file from Floopy Drive to Desktop, with the
help of batch file on Windows XP Operating System
I used the following command in the batch file, but it
does not work :

IF EXIST C:\(PATH)\DESKTOP\NUL COPY A:\TELE.LNK C:\(PATH)
\DESKTOP

It is very necessary to copy a file from A: to Desktop as
some other files are also there, which I copy to some
other folders.

Please advise.

Try inverted commas. There is no point posting anything other than the full program. Donn't bother answering.

You need quotes if there are spaces. As in "c:\blahblah blah\blah
blah\file.txt"
