-----Getting Invalid number of parameters error----
This error occurs when you're typing a directory in the MS-DOS or the Windows command line that has spaces in it. For example using the xcopy command to copy files in the Documents and Settings folder. When typing a directory with spaces in MS-DOS make sure to surround the path with quotes. For example, instead of typing: c:\documents and settings type "c:\documents and settings".

Nice guide but lets say I want a batch file that copies a few word 2003 templates from the network drive to the normal microsoft templates directory, I tried this :
xcopy Q:\Cegelec_Templates\*.* C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\*.* /s /e --------- But then I get an error saying invalid number of parameters, but when I use C:\Users as the destination folder it does work, any tips? thx

@Dartmoul1 I can think of 2 possible problems. There might be an issue using %username&, try putting your actual username if you can (just to test to see if thats the problem). The other thing I can thinkof which is probably the problem is the space in Application Data. I'll try to find a solution for that. I'll let you know when I find a fix.

@Dartmoul1 Ok, I think I found a solution. Try this:
xcopy "Q:\Cegelec_Templates\*.*" "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\*.*" /s /e
