Is it possible to write batch files like we did in DOS in vista eg I want to 
copy all the files from 1 directory to another on a regular basis, How can I 
do this with I click.

Any info would be great thanks in advance

Wrong group but googling "batch files in vista" returns what looks like some 
useful links.

If it's regular set it as a scheduled task and then no clicks.

This is what I use (as a batch.cmd file):


set server=servername
set local=localcomputername


rem xcopy \\%local%\c$\data\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxxx_2008 
\\%server%\k$\data_backup\mxxxx0\data\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxxxx_2008 /y /d /s 
/c /h

robocopy \\%local%\c$\data\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxxxx_2008 
\\%server%\k$\data_backup\mxxxx0\data\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxxx_2008 /S /XO 
/R:0

"C:\Program Files\resource kits\nt4reskit\sleep" 30



robocopy \\%local%\c$\data\user \\%server%\k$\data_backup\mxxxx0\data\user 
/S /XO /R:0




You'll have Xcopy as part of "DOS"/Windows. Robocopy is more of the same 
without Microsoft's bugs in it. *

* How can MS release Vista with an Xcopy command that can't cope with more 
than 256 of characters in the path. Fucktards.
