>In application Hugos scripting host solution is probably better. In dev you can always fire a quick xcopy /E, which is probably better in that use case than the easy to remember /S. Option /H probably relevant as well, /G you should always ponder and not call autamaticaly via 1 line batch file..
For lurkers, it's worth pointing out that any time one is contemplating using XCOPY, one might want to use ROBOCOPY instead. Besides the well-documented differences that can be found by Googling [robocopy vs xcopy], ROBOCOPY supports deep folder structures. XCOPY fails if it's fed a total path length longer than 256 characters, ROBOCOPY does not.
