"the switch for copying hidden files on Windows 95 is /H. Same as Windows NT."

HAhahahahahahaha. Raymond I haven't laughed so hard in ages ... apart from the actual threat it is so so funny. Absolutely classic.

Absolutely incredible. With all the sickos out in the world today, I hate to even elect to think that this is funny.

I wouldn't worry. It's been eight years. There's a fairly good chance the guy has gotten laid by now.

Oh my, that's the funniest thing I've read all week. Followed up by Kevin's comment, I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing during my class.

My first death threat:
Message on my telephone answering machine left by an unrecognized voice (in it's entirety):
"You @ssh*le! You'll kill you!"

Since it was left in the days before Caller-Id, I never did find out if it was a wrong number.....

My favorite xcopy tidbit is the switches you use to copy everything from one drive to another: /h /e /c /k /y which you can remember as "heck yeah!"

Larry Osterman — Thu, 03 Jun 2004 17:43:00 GMT

Mike, it's not nearly as good as:

xcopy /diskfech

This copies all the newer files from the source to the destination.

I use this ALL the time.

You know, I'd probably pay money for a book full of the weird stuff e-mail and mailed to microsoft. There must be some crazy stuff.

xcopy /qdickher

Does not display file names while copying, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time, if destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assumes that destination must be a directory, continues copying even if errors occur, copies attributes, copies hidden and system files, copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones, and overwrites read-only files.

You can't go wrong with it. If you want to see the filenames as you copy, just use /dickher. It's pretty easy to remember too. :)

At Stardock I once received a personal email saying we should die bleeding from every orifice. I won't even go into all the 'fan mail' we got when a user created the first skin that allowed WindowBlinds to make windows look like OS X.

Raymond

He could be any one of your close office friends just waiting to attack. At any time. You may have just made him nervous...

Please facilitate some kind of time operated "I must be dead if you are reading this" on your blog so we know.

Actually Raymond, wasn't there a difference between XCOPY and XCOPY32? Perhaps J*hn is refering to the version of XCOPY that ran from "DOS 7.0" (you know, that old thing). I seem to remember some limitations with that version that I found really aggrivating too... not to the point of murder though. ;)

re: My first death threat

Raymond Chen — Sat, 19 Jun 2004 02:21:00 GMT

Xcopy32 was a mistake. I should've called it "xcopy32.mod" or something. You were never supposed to run it directly.
