I backed up most of my Microsoft Office settings, some of which include
Excel Templates
Normal Template
Toolbars
AutoCorrection ACL Files

How do I copy these settings files to 5 different profile names.

In the script, I don't want to repeat all the commands for each profile. I would like to have only one set of commands and have DOS ask for my input as to what the profile name to copy to and to makes changes accordingly.

I hope this makes sense.
How can I go about creating a script as I mentioned?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Batcher for your help.

I will give it a try. I have a basic knowledge of DOS commands. I hope I can make your batch file work for my situation.

Thanks in advance.
