shortcut and copy command

[linuxnooby]

I am having difficulty using the copy command with shortcuts. For
example, there is a shortcut on the cd drive called "banana"

i run the command

copy c:\banana c:\banana2

I get the message "The system cannot find file specified"

any ideas

cheers David

Two points:

1. The file name of the shortcut is not banana, but banana.lnk

2. Most peoples CD drives are not c:

Hi

Sorry for the typo, I meant C: drive

I had tried using the filename including extension, but I had
tried .ink not .lnk (I misread the l for a capital i)

this worked

copy c:\banana.lnk c:\banana2.lnk

thank you
