Not really it may not copy the batch file because it's in use, but other than that it shouldn't be an issue. &nbsp;I believe their is a paramater to exclude certain files with RoboCopy so you could just exclude the batch file.<br />

I installed the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit on my XP Pro workstation to aquire ROBOCOPY.<br />
<br />
I cut-n-paste the ROBOCOPY.EXE to the c:\windows\system32 directory because XCOPY is there.<br />
<br />
I've been using XCOPY for many years through a simple Desktop &quot;backup.bat&quot; file.<br />
<br />
So I'm converting my XCOPY .bat files into .cmd files.<br />
<br />
Problem: I can only run the new Robocopy.cmd file within the c:\windows\system32 directory<br />
<br />
It won't run from the Desktop as XCOPY did.<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. How do I run ROBOCOPY from the Desktop like XCOPY?

RoboCopy Installation Directory?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
