I have it setup to pull users personal documents and such of the old laptop to the new win7 laptop. I do this through the network by setting the old laptops c drive as a network drive z. i use this for robocopy to grab the files i need. Code: robocopy "Z:\Documents and Settings\%user%\My Documents" "C:\Users\%user%\Documents" /s /z /mir /eta /xd My* The problem is that robocopy creates the folder instead of using the one that is already there. Is there a way to stop this from happening.
