Start Menu help

How come this command does not work when called from a *.cmd file. But i can copy it directly into the command window and it works properly?

MOVE /Y "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Alcohol 120%" "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\CD-Burn"

In a batch file the command would be:

MOVE "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Alcohol 120%%" "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\CD-Burn"

What are the syntax for all the users userprofile, alluser etc? Does anyone have that?

See that worked just fine...But now when i try

MOVE "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Norton AntiVirus%" "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\System"

Nothjing happens

What Yzöwl was saying was not to add a % sign at the end of your path, but to double any % sign there may be in it.

that's because % sign are used for variables (like %AllUsersProfile%).

You have a extta % one of these at the end of Norton AntiVirus%, this would be my guess.

If you feel comfortable using VBS script here one that in therory should work.

Here is a brief explanation of the below script

1:\ It checks for this folder All_UP & "\System\"

If it there then it copyies norton then deletes the original location of nortons.

2:\ If this folder does not exists All_UP & "\System\" then

it makes a that folder then it copies nortons then deletes nortons.

I have tested this and The Norton Folder ended up in the System Folder and the original Nortons folders was deleted.

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
   Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Dim All_UP : All_UP = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\")
   Dim MoveThis,MoveHere  : MoveThis = All_UP & "\Norton AntiVirus"  :  MoveHere = All_UP & "\System\"
	If Fso.FolderExists(MoveHere) Then 
	 Fso.CopyFolder  MoveThis, MoveHere : Fso.DeleteFolder(MoveThis)
	End If
	If Not Fso.FolderExists(MoveHere) Then 
	 Fso.CreateFolder(MoveHere): Fso.CopyFolder  MoveThis, MoveHere : Fso.DeleteFolder(MoveThis)
	End If
