I have recently created several templates for my wife to use at her workplace. She will use the templates in addition to her team at various workstations. My first thought was to create a batch file to copy the templates to the users templates folder. I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible for the end user. I want to make a CD with the 20 templates they need, they would insert the CD, locate the batch file and click it, viola the files are copied to their directory. My delima is not knowing how to create a batch file that can determine who is logged in and how to copy the files to that particular users templates folder. Keep in mind this is not my place of business so I have no control over the network. The users that need these files aren't computer savy so it needs to be fairly simple for them to execute. Thanks in advance!
Eric

Hi Eric,

If your CD is R:

xcopy r:\folder\ "%USERPROFILE%\templates\"
