The following does not work

c:\ides>copy *.* c:\program files\folder1\*.*

Click to expand...

Destination is a directory.
Paths with embedded space must be wrapped in dbl-quotes.

copy *.* "c:\program files\folder1"
 
There is a space between the words program and files. Try
containing the whole c:\... string in quotes. Hope this
helps. Steve
