Answer»

How do you copy files into a directory that have a space [ ]  in the directory
gives me a syntax error and the files don't copy

help me please 
theirs two ways, easyest way beeing to just put it in quotations..

echo off
copy "c:\DOCUMENTS and SETTINGS\%username%\desktop\file.dll"

the NEXT is ~1 , for example..

echo off
copy c:\docume~1\%username%\desktop\file.dll ,

most files and folders have pre set ~1 with them, its usualy the first word minus the last letter of the first word PLUS ~1 , sometimes its the first word combined with a bit of the second and ~1 , cd userse~1
but it COULD be anything.
