xcopy directories with long names

T

TT

When using xcopy on directories with long names I have to
use the abreviated name with "~" and a number.

Problem is that if a directory is deleted and recreated it
now has a new ~name.

How can I specify the full name when using xcopy?

Or if you know another way of copying the directory
structure with a bat-file

Please be specific if answering.

Enclose the source and destination in double quotes " ".

Examples:
"C:\Documents and Setting\username\"
"C:\Program Files\program name"

Type xcopy/? at the Command Prompt for all options.
