I am on a Novell network. I plan to set up login scripts that will launch an XCOPY command as users login. I need to copy update files from the file server to the local hard drive into an independent directory (not within C:\WINDOWS.) <br><br>Is there a switch I can use with the XCOPY command that will perform the copy unconditionally. I have to avoid the Windows screen that requires user response to overwrite existing files. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
