>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I want to add Robocopy utility to my XP Pro computer. I found a page on MS site for downloading Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (rktools.exe). This kit has a lot of tools which I don't want. All I want is Robocopy. Do I understand correctly that if I had the file RoboCopy.exe and put it in the path of my PC I can use it in the command prompt from any folder, right? If so, how can I extract the Robocopy.exe from the rktools.exe file without installing the entire toolkit?

Downloading the whole kit, installing it, copying out Robocopy.exe somewhere else, and uninstalling the kit via Add/Remove Programs is faster than futzing around on a forum like this.
