I am trying to create a batch file that will move files from one folder to another. The naming convention in XP seems to be different than what I am used to. Instead of typing move c:\*.mp3 c:\mydocu~1\mp3s XP has c:\documents and settings\my music. when i look at the directories they are spelled out in fill length with spaces. is that how the batch should be written? When i try and run the batch file to move files from c: to the c:\documents and settings\mike\my music\ folder i get an invalid syntax error. Any Ideas?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents or else if they are in a 'user' folder C:\Documents and Settings\user name

In XP make sure you are using quotation marks or it will not copy files properly. I make batches in XP for everything if you need anymore help email me.

Doing a "dir /x" will display the names of folders in 8dot3 format as you used to. Quotation marks don't work with some batch commands.

Thanks for your help.
