Windows 10: Batch/Command file to copy file to c:\windows\sysWOW64

Hi there,

I tried creating a batch file on a usb stick, but it could not copy files to a windows system folder.
I require administration run to execute this copy, but when i ran using administration, it doesn't know where to find the files on the usb stick.

The usb stick has the following 2 files. The usb stick changes drive letter depending whose pc it is running at.
1. At root .\README.txt
2. .\folderA\testfile.txt

In my batch file (textcopy.bat), the following script :
copy README.txt c:\windows\syswow64
copy ,\folderA\testfile.txt c:\windows\syswow64

Ideas?

The part i think it is missing when running as administrator is specifying the current location of the file.

:)

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
