Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a batch file?
I would like to copy everything within D drive into G drive, and overwrite
anything without request for any confirmation. After that, shut down my XP
window.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to code this batch file?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Here you go:
@echo off
xcopy d:\*.* g:\ /s /y

If you are dealing with large amounts of data then this option is
preferable:
@echo off
robocopy d:\ g:\ *.* /s /is /w:1 /r:1

You can download robocopy.exe from here:

To see its many switches, type robocopy /? at the Command Prompt.

xcopy /?
shutdown /?
start /?

Use those (with appropriate modifiers per the /? help you get) in a batch
script together.
 
Sorry you wanted a batch process.
You can try SyncBackSE
it schedules file copies very well and the free version does a excellent job
with logging.
