| 63573 | 2002-07-19 12:06:00 | how do i copy a folder complete with contents of which some are locked by windows, hence the need for dos. for eg to copy c:\temporary internet files to d:\windows\temporary internet files i have got xxcopy but i'm buggered if i can get it to work under pure DOS. in an ms dos screen it works sweet but can't copy index.dat files. in DOS it ignores the " " command which tells it to ignore the spaces between in the file name. |

| 63575 | 2002-07-19 12:26:00 | 1st: type "dir" at the d:\ DOS prompt. Long file and folder names will be truncated. Then (after checking the folder name) type the following: xcopy d:\windows\tempor~1\*.* a:\ (assuming you want to put it on the a drive) or change into the directory cd\windows\tempor~1 then type copy *.* a:\ |

| 63576 | 2002-07-19 12:28:00 | why use xxcopy, have you tried DOS's xcopy? I batch it and it copies long file names and spaces OK... |

| 63577 | 2002-07-19 13:01:00 | ths all. i finally got xxcopy to work.....just testing results at the mo. did it in ms-dos promt. must be tired ;-) xxcopy from what i understand is an improvment from xcopy and it handked the long file names a breeze. i just shifted all the internet folders to anther folder index.dats and all and everything seems to be working sweet. |
