dayvah49's script should do what you want. However when you adjusted the directories, if the directories you used have spaces in the names, then you must enclose the source and/or destination with "". That is, like this:

xxcopy "c:\my src\" "d:\my dst\"

Also, because dayvah49 is using the /WS60 option for xxcopy, which tells xxcopy to delay processing for 60 seconds, the script will appear to do nothing for one full minute. You will see the xxcopy header but that is all until 1 minute has passed. After 1 minute xxcopy should move up to 100 files then go back and wait again for one more minute. Eventually when there are no files left to copy xxcopy will return an errorlevel of 100 which ends the script.
