Re: How to copy(not redirect) IE fav to network drive

I am using this cmd file to copy to the network drive:

@echo off
cd /d c:\
cd %userprofile%
xcopy favoritter /h /s /y h:\favoritter
exit

I thought that this script should cover my problem, but I get a syntax
error
(in cmd) when I run it

cd /d h:\
copy h:\favoritter /h /s /y %userprofile%\Favoritter
exit

Any clues?

There are a few problems with your batch file:
- The line "cd /d h:\" is superfluous. Delete it!
- The copy command does not have a /s switch
and it will not copy subdirectories. Use xcopy.exe
instead.
- "%UserProfile%" has embedded spaces. You must
therefore enclose it with double quotes (which you
should do for all file & folder names in order to make
your batch files more robust.
- You should add a backslash to the target directory,
to ensure that xcopy will create it in case it does not
exist.
- You may want to add the /d switch so that old files
do not get copied each time.

Try this:

@echo off
xcopy h:\favoritter /h /s /y /d "%userprofile%\Favoritter\"
