Creating a .bat file to copy .doc to current userprofile

[gusahq]

I'm needing to send out a document to multiple remote users, since I don't want to have to take a hundred phone calls asking me how to move the file I was just going to make a batch file that copied the document to a folder in the current user profile. Does any one know how I can do this?
Or even better to write a batch file that would add the information to their current doc.

You can copy it direct onto their desktop by doing

Copy filename.doc %USERPROFILE%\Desktop

in a batch file.

Why not just email them the doc with instructions?

jrbarnett, I had tried that as well but I keep getting an error saying "the syntax of the command is incorrect"

my command line was copy filename.ini %USERPROFILE%\application data\icaclient
Am I missing something?

marcs41, of course I thought of that, but this is going out to over 150 franchise locations that have a hard enough time locating the on/off switch much less moving a file to the correct location.

Try with quotes like this:

copy filename.ini "%USERPROFILE%\application data\icaclient"

AirCon, Thanks for your reply, that is what I was leaving out. It works like a charm now.
