Hi,
Run xcopy /? from a command prompt, you'll get:
NOTE: Xcopy is now deprecated, please use Robocopy.
Meaning it exists, but may not function correctly. If he created the temp3 folder, he should have full control on it and be able to write/alter files there. However, if the folder was copied from a different installation, he may need to alter permissions.

The command xcopy was replaced with robocopy, alter your batch accordingly and see if this helps.
ROBOCOPY has been added as standard in Vista, rather than you having to add it from the Resource Kit, but XCOPY is still in Vista, IIRC.
I think the reason for his script is not working is due to UAC not allowing writes to the C: root? I can't test right now, but maybe the new folder cannot be created by the command unless in an elevated prompt?
I agree he should convert to using ROBOCOPY instead though, as it has much better features.
