Hi Pete,
Post the contents of your batch file, not the file it's self.

Re: Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows Vis
Replace COPY with XCOPY.

Re: Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
Hi SG,
Thanks for your reply!
The contents of my batch file is:
PATH C:\; C:\Windows; C:\Windows\System32
COPY C:\Program Files\BioClinic\*.*
Just two simple lines and this batch file was working fine in the old laptop
computer that was running Windows XP. I copied the same batch file to the
brand new DELL latop that came with Windows Vista and NOT working.
Thanks, Pete

Re: Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
There is no destination given in your file and there's no need for the PATH
command.
Try this:
COPY (or XCOPY) <source> <destination>
Use the "/y" switch to avoid the overwrite prompt.

Re: Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
Bob,
Thanks for pointing out my omission!
Actually it is : "COPY C:\Program Files\BioClinic\*.* F:\" ,where the "F:"
being my USB memory stick.
I thought may be the Vista came with no "COPY" command available and was
looking for Vista CD but it was not in the box.
But you have a good suggestion to try with XCOPY and I will do that when I
get to the laptop next time because it's not with me now.
Thanks much, Pete

Re: Command prompt "COPY" command not working in brand new Windows
Pete
Check out 'Robocopy'. Much more powerful and with many more options.
Robocopy /?
