Open a DOS Prompt window first (Start->Run->Command or DOS
Prompt shortcut). If you are just double clicking on xxcopy.exe,
it won't be doing anything. Xxcopy is intended mainly for use
on the Command line or from a batch file. If you are using
Start->Run->xxcopy , you can add either or
both of the following:

/we //this will wait for a key press when xxcopy finishes
/on:xxcopy.log //this will create a log to xxcopy.log

You can customise what is reported in the log using /o
See xxcopy /o/help for details.

When you have finished with the DOS window, type exit to close it.
