So do I have to use the entire path when using the Xopy command?
For the source, yes. The destination path can be whatever you want as long as its on a mapped, lettered drive.

I would use the use the quotes on any source path that has spaces in it.

I like to use the same path for source and destination so that when I do a restore, I just swap the source and destination drive letters and then run the file again, and it copys my files back to the PC in the proper locations.

so just a note... on all these backup talks, XP comes with it's own backup software "NTbackup" (shown on the Programs>Acessories>system tools) as "Backup" if it's not installed by default the install file is on the actual OS install disk, it'll do both full system backups (which include the registry and customized system files necessary for starting up called the 'system state') and also do the ASR (automated system recovery) which will allow you to back everything up to a harddrive or across DVDs and then if you ever have to reinstall you simply use the ASR disk it creates to put it into that mode of reinstall so all your data gets put back as it reinstalls the OS and in the end everything will end up like it was when you created the ASR disk

making and image will get you the same results pretty much as the ASR and might be more simple, but the built in backup program for XP is much more user friendly than XCOPY batch files and gives you more options for how you manage your backups (i.e. you can back up just want changed since the last back up (incrimental) or you can back up what's changed since the last full (differential) without clearing the archive bits that tell the computer if something's changed since the last back up, you can do just dayly, set schedules, etc...
and again unlike xcopy it has the added bonus of both backing up the system state and registry, AND sticking a backup copy of the registry in a system folder near the registry so you can recover it if it ever gets corrupted from a command line interface

ok now I've got something called a Dr.watson Post mortum debugger giving me an error code. A site I found on google is telling me to remove a myway search assistant.

I think all those search assistants and search bars and tool bars are nothing but bloated malware just doing all sorts of reporting back to their parent companies over whatever you visit and whatever you type in there. One of those even installed itself as an add-on from a download, even when I told it not to.

I dont use any of them

I used to use MSbackup all the time to back up my other computer, which ran windows 98. When I got this computer with XP, MSbackup was no longer supported, so I had to use a zip drive to move all of my files. For that reason I'd rather use a more generic command to backup files, like XCopy.
