Hello. I have question that I hope is so simple and silly that someone can answer it very easily. I had a batch file to copy documents to a memory stick that worked under XP. I just got a new laptop running Windows 7 and can't get the batch file to work. The problem is it can`t find the folder I want to copy - I think must be specifying the path wrong. I wrote the path as per the top of a Windows Explorer window. The "bad" command is:
xcopy /s /i /D /Y "C:\users\pete\my documents\current working documents" "I:\Current Working Documents"
(Under XP the command was:
xcopy /s /i /D /Y "C:\Documents and settings\%USERNAME%\my documents\current working documents" "I:\Current Working Documents")
Thanks in advance.... Pete
Do you get an error?

Thanks Mechanix and Razor. Using the %userprofile%\documents was the trick. Once again thanks so much for taking the time to read and reply to my question, it's great that there are people like you around sharing your skills and knowledge with the rest of us.
Cheers......
