Hello

I'm writing a script that copies files from one folder to another, and I'm
using XCOPY.
wshshell.run "cmd /c XCOPY " & .....


but how do I get the DOS shell window to open when I run this command ??

THanks

Like so: wshshell.run "cmd /c XCOPY . . . " & pause

The question is, of course, why you would want to invoke xcopy from within a
script file. It would be much simpler to invoke it from a batch file.
