Tell us what you are trying to do and why - what is your end goal.
Copying shortcuts via a batch file isn't a normal activity, so you need
to tell us what you are really trying to do and why you want to do it
in a batch file. You may think you are making "it plain" but you are
not. Remember, you have to communicate what you have in your mind. Here
are links to help you make a good newsgroup post:
