Batch file question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Why does one copy copy a file to two different places in the following?



I have a batch program that copies some files that end up on a camera
card to take back and forth between work and home.

Part of my code is.

pause
xcopy "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\*.doc" "C:\floppy\" /Y /s /Q
pause


At the first pause I check and see:
C:\Floppy>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 0434-350F

Directory of C:\Floppy

After this line I find both of the following:

and
C:\Floppy\My Pictures\Bogart\diary.doc

C:\Floppy>dir
