Re: script to copy user profile!!


You should always enclose file paths in double quotes, in case it contains spaces:
Copy "%userprofile%\desktop\*.*" "c:\profile\desktop\"


Also, consider using XCopy:

xcopy /?
<snip>
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
<snip>
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string
should be in a separate line in the files. When any of the
strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For
example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
.obj extension respectively.
