Backup/Restore CMD


Recommended Posts

i used to use a cmd file to auto-backup, and auto-restore my personal settings (eg - my docs, my pics, my music, outlook express accounts, outlook express settings).

i lost the file, and am trying to re-write it.

however, for some reason, "my documents" aren't copying over properly - they copy to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents", but the desktop "my documents" icon leads to an empty folder. (and there is ONLY one account on the comp - the admin one, created by defualt with xp).

Can someone check over my batch and tell me what's wrong?
