Don't run the batch from Windows Explorer. Open a command window, navigate to the folder and run the batch by typing its name.

Well, now you know why you can't move that file to the system32 folder. This is normal for a system folder in Windows 7. Why do you want to put the file in that folder? I don't think it is really called "file.txt", now is it? ::)

No i have to move a image(.BMP) in to the system32 with a batch file.

Is there no way that i can copy it as administror so that i got the premision?

Post by: Salmon Trout on July 31, 2010, 05:33:29 AM: Well, if you learn how to spell administrator that would be a start. Why don't you login as such?

Post by: Fleexy on July 31, 2010, 09:29:35 AM: Why are you moving a .BMP into the system folder? I can't find any in mine.
