hi everyone!

need help in COPYING a FILE so that it will be visible in the DESKTOP.
just like shortcuts!

what will be the directory then?
the problem is that the path is not fixed like...
C:\Documents and Settings\comp1\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\comp2\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\comp3\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\comp4\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\comp5\DesktopTry:

"%userprofile%\Desktop"
"%allusersprofile%\Desktop"

Those work for XP and should work with Vista/7. The second will work for all user accounts on that computer and the FIRST will work for the current user (the one who ran the batch file).
C:\>cd \

C:\>dir /s  desktop
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 0652-E41D
