How do I create a batch file shortcut which copies one file to another
location?
Click to expand...

Type the command in a text editor. For example:

xcopy c:\mydir\myfile.doc c:\mynewdir\mynewfile.doc

Will copy myfile.doc in the mydir directory to the new name and
location specified. Save this file as copyfile.cmd. You can run this
from the command line, or create a shortcut on your desktop to invoke
it.

See this page:

for lots of information about *.cmd files in WinXP.
