batch file in windows xp
« on: June 07, 2011, 04:42:27 AM »
I have created a batch file which copies my emails to an external hard drive in Windows Vista. Now I want to create the same batch file in Windows XP but it is not working. Is there any command that I must change. Please help
@echo off
xcopy "c:\Email Office " d:\Backup\ /c /s /r /d /y /i

Your post does not make it clear if you have the same email software in both systems. Is it Office 2007?
You are aware that Vista and XP have separate e-mail clients. For reasons of security the file layout in Vista is different for e-mail. As well as a lot of other things.
In XP Outlook Express is the default client.
Maybe this might help:
