Don't know of a solution for you, short of you debugging the script on your machine. The script's worked fine for me on a number of machines. Sorry, George.

At the command prompt, what do you get if you echo the following? echo %systemroot% echo %comspec% I get C:\WINDOWS for %systemroot% (which is where I installed the script) and C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe for %comspec%. George, not sure why it’s not working. At the command prompt, what do you get if you echo the following?
echo %systemroot%
echo %comspec%

I get C:\WINDOWS for %systemroot% (which is where I installed the script) and C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe for %comspec%.

If I go to another folder, the paste repeats the last copy from the last C:\WINDOWS folder copy. Erics version does not have the quotes and line feed. Have I missed something?
