Swtich to use for yes and no prompt

Hello all, I'm running an Xcopy batch file during logoff. This xcopy is mainly use for when users log off for the day but sometimes a computer needs to be shut down and it's annoying that this batch file runs. Is there a switch I can use to prompt the user if this batch file can run? Like a yes or no switch?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tony... I'm not not scripter so this looks very confusing to me. Do I put this infront of my script? Here is my script.

@echo off
xcopy /d /y "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mailbox.pst" "H:\USERS\%USERNAME%\Outlook"

Thanks
