Can someone help me with a batch file?
All I'm looking to do is put this into a batch file that I can double click and have it run:
I'm not aware of why it's not working. Here is the DOS command
copy C:\Documents and Settings\rmac\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst G:\Administrative\RMac\email

Close. Try...
cd\
cd \Documents and Settings\rmac\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
xcopy *.pst G:\Administrative\RMac\email
I will have a moderator move this to OS Issues.

The spaces in the names of folders might cause erors.
Double quotes should be placed around the names containing spaces:
copy "C:\Documents and Settings\rmac\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst" G:\Administrative\RMac\email
or
copy C:\"Documents and Settings"\rmac\"Local Settings"\"Application Data"\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst G:\Administrative\RMac\email

Since it has the folder Documents and Settings it is either Windows XP or 2000. Neither of those have space issues in DOS with folder names.

copy "C:\Documents and Settings\rmac\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst" G:\Administrative\RMac\email
this method works on XP or at least it did for me. the spaces in the file name could be the issue
