One thing strikes me, your file has a space in it, try it with quotes

Code: [Select]

xcopy "E:\my picture\we.jpg" /h

The XCopy message is issued because XCopy does not recognize the destination folder as a folder or a file.   Include a backslash "\" in your set command e.g.

Quote

set destfolder=C:\destination folder\
