Batch File

[Jasper Recto]

I would like to create a batch file that will copy a file to every users
desktop.

What command do I use to denote the current users profile?

\\Document and settings\CURRENT USER???\Desktop

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jasper

When you type
set{Enter}
at the Command Prompt then the variable %UserProfile% will immediately stick
out.

If you want to copy a file for every users but don't want it to be duplicated
you want to copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
adjust the path as you need.
