Re: Overwrite Favorites desktop -> laptop

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



First make sure that you can access the files on Z:

Then try: xcopy /y Z:\*.* C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites

I have a home newtwork:

1) Desktop (Master) Wired
2) Laptop (Salve) Wireless

I'd like my laptop to overwrite its Favorites with the desktop ones when
shutting down the pc.

I tryed the DOS xcopy function but without success, so far:

1) I shared my desktop Favorites
2) I mapped the shared folder on my laptop assigning the Z:\ letter
3) xcopy Z:\ C:\Documents and Settings\AD\Favorites

Well, when I click the .bat file, nothing happens and I don't know why.

Can you help me finding a proper and clean solution or maybe use another
way
to reach the same target?
It looked simple to do, but eventually it is not.

Thank you!
