    xcopy didn't do that. that is the 8.5 dos file type.

    I don't think you can copy the Windows folder while it's running. You'd need to copy it while it wasn't running.

    he he oh ya that is what I meant

    how are you copying the dir?

    xcopy c:\windows\*.* d:\whatever dir\

    if in dos (not dos prompt) that will copy all the files in the windows dir.

    if you want all files then take off /s as that is for system files.
