Sure!  Do keep in mind that this was 
written long before XP was released. However, the principles remain the same.

Actually, he says to use ANYTHING other than TCP/IP - NetBUI, IPX - 
whatever your OS supports. I chose to use NetBUI based upon the 
recommendation of one of my co-workers who had much more experience than 
myself.

What you said is what I suspected - I was not fully qualifying the 
paths. How about if I just add the trailing back slashes to the source and 
destination paths.

.\bin\dcopy32 "u:\Documents and Settings\" "t:\lwk\Documents and Settings\" 
/bu/x*.swp/x*.par/x"*\Temporary Internet Files\*\*" /onerror.log%3

I don't want to fully specify the 'temporary internet files' path because 
its position changes, depending upon who set up the target machine and what 
OS that machine is running. For example, one machine has \\Rec\e\My 
Documents\TempInternetFiles\Temporary Internet Files ; another has 
\\Lwk\c\Documents and Settings\Larry Kelly\Local Settings\Temporary 
Internet Files

The one thing that is common to all the machines is that the directory I 
want to exclude is titled 'Temporary Internet Files'.

I've read and re-read most of the tech notes that you have written but I 
still get confused on occasion. The problem I had previously was that I 
did not know what to include within the double quotes when trying to 
specify a directory with embedded spaces. Thanks to Kan, I've got that out 
of the way.

Thanks again for the incredibly quick and detailed response!
