Copy in batch doesn't work

[Jeff Pritchard]

Hi

I am using a batch file with a shortcut to regularly copy some files between
folders. Before XP I used the 'copy' command and it worked fine. Now with XP
installed I get a 'too many parameters' error. Nothing I do seems to make
the copy work.

Why?

Does anyone know of another way to do this?

Should work fine. Can you post the exact statement as it is in your batch
file? Possibly a syntax error somewhere.
