Batch file

I need to write a batch file that will search the hard drive for a file and if it exists, overwrite it with a specified file. The file could be in different locations on different computers, so hard coding an "xcopy" statement in the batch file is impossible. Help, please!

you will have to hard code each path that you want to search, depending on how many drives, and paths, this could be alot of code.
It will look something like this:
location = C:\path1 :START if exist %location%(filename) goto work 'rem, this variable resetting works from the bottem up.
if %location%==d:\path2 set location=d:\path3 if %location%==d:\path1 set location=d:\path2 if %location%==c:\path2 set location=d:\path1 if %location%==c:\path1 set location=c:\path2 goto START :work copy (filename1) %location% (filename)
