totoymola Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 INF can do it, but you can always use a batch file compiled to an exe. I use Quick Batch File Compiler, which has a "Ghost" feature so no CMD window will pop up. 100% silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 ill check it out, i want some kinda progress bar tho, so i can see whats going on, but i dont want the uglieness of the batch file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hmm.. I don't know if you can make a progress bar with batch files. I don't know how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 thats why i was wondering about infs but im not sure how 2 do the copy command in infs so it wont prompt to overwrite files (/Y for cmd files) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Not sure about INFs but this REG file could do what you need:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Backup\command]@="cmd.exe /q /c copy /y \"%1\"\\*.* path-to-mapped-drive"INF would be? (wild guess)HKCR, "Directory\shell\Backup\", "command", 0, "cmd.exe /q /c copy /y \"%1\"\\*.* path-to-mapped-drive" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 hey thx for the suggestion, but even with your way, it doesnt copy the full directory over, it copies the contents of the directory to Y:\ , anyway 2 make it still have the directory name intact?without using move instead..

MCT Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 it copies all folders WITHIN the folder, example:if it wasSoftware--Games--Downloads--Otherwas the directory structureY:\ would have-Games-Downloads-Other in the root of Y:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
