Please note that windows uses \ in paths, not /

Also, you should learn to use the markup language supported by this site - html does not work. The buttons at the top of the post editor work well, and are pretty self-evident.

The following one liner should do the trick from the command line

Code: Select all

for /r "c:\SomeFolder\Users" /d %F in (*) do @dir /b /ad "%F" | findstr "^" >nul || copy "c:\licence.bin" "%F" >nul

If you want the command in a batch script, then you must double the percents

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /r "c:\SomeFolder\Users" /d %%F in (*) do dir /b /ad "%%F" | findstr "^" >nul || copy "c:\licence.bin" "%%F" >nul

The above assumes that by "empty sub-folder" you mean a folder that does not contain any other folders, but may have files.

If you truly mean empty, (no files or folders), then remove the /ad option from the dir command
