Two questions about cmd prompt

Is there a command to export IE7 favorites from a cmd prompt? I would
like to use it in a batch file to backup some selected files.

Also, is there a way to determine the currently logged-on user from a
cmd prompt?

you can use the copy command to copy any files from the hard drive.

Thanks for your answer. I use XCOPY to backup my files to other media.
My question was how to use a batch command to export the favorites out
of IE7 first, so I can back them up later.

I also would like to know if there's a command to determine the
currently logged-on user.

========================

The command
echo %UserName%
will tell you who's logged on right now.

Under IE6 the favorites are kept in "%UserProfile%\Favorites".
I suspect they are kept in the same place under IE7. If you cannot
see them, search your disk for the name of one of your favorites,
e.g. "EBanking".

do you want the batch file to run in vista or at the cmd prompt?

Favorites are just files in your favorites folder, the ones with a .url
extension. Your favorites folder is normally in %userprofile%\favorites,
which is usually something like
"C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Favorites"
From a cmd prompt, you should be able to copy these as you would any other
files.

Type:
SET USERNAME
in a cmd prompt to find out the current username
or just type:
SET
to see all environment variables (including %userprofile% mentioned above)
