WesW 0 Posted February 28, 2011 I am trying to copy file from our server to the startup foler on a windows 7 machine. I created a simple exe file to click and the file copies. I found that the file will not copy due to the ProgramData folder being hidden. Is there a way to copy a file to a hidden folder. FileCopy("\\Servernamel\common\apps\AutoPLANT\V8i\Master\V8i_Start\DTG AutoPLANT V8i.exe", "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" ,"/H") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varian 8 Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Your syntax is a problem. You either need a trailing backslash on the target or you need to specify a file name for the target. And what is up with the "/H" flag? You can have either 1,2,8, or the sum of their combinations. Edited March 1, 2011 by Varian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
