Voting Question: What’s the fastest, easiest way to copy & overwrite a file to a folder?
0
August 27th, 2008Dark Age of CamelotI have a backup file for Dark Age of Camelot that I am consistently overwriting for crafting reasons. For the sake of this question, we’ll call it Crafter.ini.
Crafter.ini is kept in C:\…\Application Data\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\LotM. This file is for general gameplay, and I often overwrite this version of the file with a crafter’s version of this file.
I keep a copy of that original Crafter.ini file in C:\…\My Documents\Dark Age of Camelot. This is the file that I would like to find an easier way to copy back into the original location.
Currently, my process involves opening explorer, navigating to the backup, right click, copy, navigate to the original folder, paste, accept overwrite.
It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s somewhat of a pain to me, so I was wondering if there is some sort of cheap .bat file method I could be using or anything else to speed it up.
I found this link which seems slightly quicker, but I think there may be something even faster available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
From the CMD prompt, c: did nothing.I attempted a .bat file, COPY and XCOPY just failed, likely because I don’t know exactly what to type for them. One failed due to file not found, the other for too many parameters.
Any more suggestions?
From the CMD prompt, C:\ changed to base c:\ prompt.
Clarification:COPY couldn’t find the file.
XCOPY said too many parameters.
