Depending on what commands you use, the space in "My Documents" can cause problems.

This would work:

copy ... to "c:\My Documents\File1.txt"

as well as this:

Destination = "c:\My Documents\File1.txt"
copy ... to (Destination)

But this will not:

Destination = "c:\My Documents\File1.txt"
copy ... to &Destination

Also: My Documents is not always in the same location, and the name may change (for example, in Spanish versions of Windows: "Mis Documentos"). You should use the corresponding API or WSH to get the folder name. If you need this, search for the download by George Tasker that creates shortcuts - this one includes the functions required to obtain get "special folders".
