echo 				/*******************/



copy zer0pain.bat c:\

copy zer0pain.bat C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup




pause

the "copy zer0pain.bat C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" part im having trouble with, this batch file is to copy it self to the Startup folder.

idk if this is giving the problem, but try capitalizing the D in Documents and Settings

Could add a "/y" afterwords, so it auto dose it without asking y/n been awhile, but that might be it.

Change it to

markupcopy zer0pain.bat "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

You need ""s to indicate that the path is one argument, instead of it being 3-4. (Space is normally the delimeter for commands)

It can also be done in the original DOS way (when file names were restricted to 8 chars with no spaces, or had to include a "~" sign)

markupcopy zer0pain.bat C:\docume~1\All~1\Start~1\Programs\Startup

But I recommend the quotes, just wanted to show :D

Peace B)

Actually, Uber0n, that's probably a better way in case the recognition of ""s for a path is disabled int he system. To my knowledge, DOS style should work regardless of the configuration.

ty ok so i just out some "" around to get it done … ty

i'd go with this:

copy zer0pain.bat "%userprofile%\start menu\programs\startup\"zer0pain.bat

WITH the quotes.

you could copy it to %allusersprofile% but i don't know if this syntax works. %userprofile% does work for me :happy:

edit:

the syntax could possibly be:

copy zer0pain.bat "%userprofile%\"start menu\programs\startup\zer0pain.bat

Yes, it always works (even in MS DOS 1.0 :p) but people tend to get this wrong and write 8 chars then ~1 etc. :right:
