XCOPY or equivalent

[Guest]

First off I've never used XCOPY til now. And I was finally able to copy a
file from the network to my c: successfully through a .bat file.
XCOPY F:\CAD-STANDARDS\Projects\BaseFiles\B-Files\test.dgn C:\JUNK\test.dgn

I'm questioning the use of the .bat file. But more importantly I can't get
a shortcut to copy from the network to my c:.

I created a shortcut that I want all users to have on their desktops. I
need to copy this shortcut from somewhere and have it place it on their
desktop. This is the path to my shortcut.

F:\CAD-STANDARDS\Projects\BaseFiles\PROJECT-SETUP

Where PROJECT-SETUP is the shortcut I created to
F:\CAD-STANDARDS\Projects\BaseFiles\scripts

Where scripts is a folder that contains many folders that users will access
frequently.

TIA

You need to copy F:\CAD-STANDARDS\Projects\BaseFiles\PROJECT-SETUP.LNK

You might want to download XXCOPY. If is much more flexible than XCOPY, and
a better tool for moving or backing up large numbers of files.
