Hi,

I'm a complete beginner at bat files, I've tried searching but don't really KNOW how to word it correctly to get an accurate search result.

Here's what I'd like to do:-

Create a bat file that when Double clicked will copy a FOLDER and all its files and sub-folders to a new folder. The source folder will always have the same path, but the destination will be a different one every time. Is there a way to, for example, copy the bat file in (windows) to the destination folder, then double clicking it will result in copying from the source folder to the folder that I've just copied the bat file into?

Hope I've explained it OK
Would be grateful for any help, thanks.
MMM...aaaa. YES!
If the source folder is always the same.
and
you create a new folder
and
your put just the BAT into the folder
and
you CD to that new folder
and
you start the BAT

The BAT files shall referee to the source folder as either an absolute path or a relative path that ALREADY exists and is reusable.
Examples:
d:\MyStuff\Homework\
is and absolute path
..\Homework\
is a relative path REACHABLE from d:\MyStuff\anyfolder

So the BAT file might contain
xcopy ..\Homework\*.*

Try it first on some DUMMY files.
I did not call you a dummy.
I am the dummy.
