WINNT\System32 is the footprint of Windows2000. WINNT is used and there is a system32 dir.As you don't state your OS I am guessing that it is Win2000 or XP (WINNT)
There is one mystery solved, however, I still can't figure out why the hell he is using an XCOPY command line switch with the COPY command. The /r switch is not part of the command line syntax for the COPY command.
F2B is right. Use explorer because you sure as hell aren't going to get anywhere using bad syntax on the command line.
Hmmmm, no R switch for COPY.Code:C:\WINDOWS\system32>copy /? Copies one or more files to another location. COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [ [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B source Specifies the file or files to be copied /A Indicates an ASCII text file. /B Indicates a binary file. /D Allow the destination file to be created destination Specifies the directory and/or filename /V Verifies that new files are written corr /N Uses short filename, if available, when non-8dot3 name. /Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want existing destination file. /-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to existing destination file. /Z Copies networked files in restartable mo The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. D to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being ex within a batch script. To append files, specify a single file for destination, for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format
Interesting. There is an R switch with XCOPY.Code:C:\WINDOWS\system32>xcopy /? Copies files and directory trees. XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [ [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/G [/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/- [/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+fil source Specifies the file(s) to copy. destination Specifies the location and/or name of ne /A Copies only files with the archive attri doesn't change the attribute. /M Copies only files with the archive attri turns off the archive attribute. /D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the spe If no date is given, copies only those f source time is newer than the destinatio /EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]... Specifies a list of files containing str should be in a separate line in the file strings match any part of the absolute p copied, that file will be excluded from example, specifying a string like \obj\ all files underneath the directory obj o .obj extension respectively. /P Prompts you before creating each destina /S Copies directories and subdirectories ex /E Copies directories and subdirectories, i Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T. /V Verifies each new file. /W Prompts you to press a key before copyin /C Continues copying even if errors occur. /I If destination does not exist and copyin assumes that destination must be a direc /Q Does not display file names while copyin /F Displays full source and destination fil /L Displays files that would be copied. /G Allows the copying of encrypted files to not support encryption. /H Copies hidden and system files also. /R Overwrites read-only files. /T Creates directory structure, but does no include empty directories or subdirector empty directories and subdirectories. /U Copies only files that already exist in /K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will res /N Copies using the generated short names. /O Copies file ownership and ACL informatio /X Copies file audit settings (implies /O). /Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want existing destination file. /-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to existing destination file. /Z Copies networked files in restartable mo The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.
