Windows 10: Using Xcopy to copy NTUSER.DAT file while logged in

Hi allJust wondering if it is possible to copy the NTUSER.DAT file via xcopy while still being logged in?I have tried although it comes up with a sharing violation error while doing so just for the DAT file. Just wanted to confirm that this can or cannot be done.thanksMV

Microsoft Solitaire Collection not working even after resetting Windows.

Hi,

As well as the 3 ntuser files listed, there are 5 ntuser.dat(*****).regtrans-ms files and 2 ntuser,dat(*****).blf files.

Do I copy those as well or unselect them like the 3 you listed?

Is it possible to copy the same file without overwriting it with XCOPY?

I am using Windows 7 and I am using the XCOPY command in a batch file to copy files. I want to make additional copies of the same file instead of overwriting them.

For example I would like to have XCOPY make duplicate files when I run it but make a copy of the new file(s) when I run it each time.

For example if I have a file called recipe.txt, I would like to run XCOPY and have a file like

recipe.txt

recipe.txt (1)

recipe.txt (2)

recipe.txt (3)

and so on everytime I run XCOPY

I used this code in a batch file

xcopy "C:\Users\MYCMP1\Desktop\recipe.txt" "H:\copiedfiles" /d

pause

but it gives me the overwrite prompt of yes/no/all and i am trying to avoid this.

If xcopy cannot do this, is there any type of software that can make duplicates such as the one i mentioned above (recipe.txt (1), recipe.txt (2), etc)

Any help would be appreciated.

 

XCopy not working on Win10

Hi,

There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

@EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

Any suggestions are appreciated!

thanks,
