I'm trying to create a bat file to copy a file from the directory where the bat file is placed to the desktop.<br />
I think something like this: copy MyApp.lnk c:\users\allusers\desktop,<wbr /> but I'm not sure if there is anything like allusers in windows8. Maybe there is some command that represent the current username, like %username%? Appreciate any suggestions.
