Hi Guys

I am doing a batch file to copy a PDF from the C:\ Drive - the D:\users desktop folder. i have used the xcopy command to do this and also the %HOMEPATH% command aswell so it goes to the users desktop folder to then display it on the desktop, but this isnt working any help.

sorry for not much detail as i dont do alot of DOS

You could use the For command to copy a user list from a text file
or you could just keep it simple and use a user variable for different default users.<see code below>

Code: Select all

@echo off
::use wildcard to copy over all .pdf file/s from C <source> to the system or d drive <destination>::
xcopy c:\*.pdf  %userprofile%\desktop\Pdf\ /s/e/h/f/c/q/i
