  2. c:\users\public\public documents\xxxxx

    robocopy "c:\users\public\public documents\foldername"

    robocopy "c:\users\public\documents\foldername"

    In your report you left out some essential details, e.g.

    • Does the folder c:\users\public\public documents exist?
    • Is it a physical folder or a symbolic link?
    • What is the error message generated by robocopy?

  3. c:\users\public\public documents\xxxxx

    when running a .bat file with the following script, the copy fails. --- robocopy "c:\users\public\public documents\foldername" "e:\copyfolder" /mir /eta /r:1 /w:1 /log:c:\robolog\logfile.txt

    However, when running the same script with 'public documents' changed to 'documents', the script runs ok.

    --- robocopy "c:\users\public\documents\foldername" "e:\copyfolder" /mir /eta /r:1 /w:1 /log:c:\robolog\logfile.txt

    why is 'public documents' a pseudoname?

    I should note that after a change to the script, I have to always remember to save the .bat file as UTF-8, or the quotes in the script cause problems, too.

    note that the --- characters used above are just for effect in this discussion & are not part of the operational script

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Downloaded Installations is taking a lot of space in my computer, what is the purpose of the file, is it safe to delete it. are there any implications to deleting it?
