I?m interested in finding out how to create a batch file that does this:

When I run it, it basically copies an entire directory off of my thumbdrive which will probably have a random drive letter (will there be problems with this or is there some parameter that will allow it to see my thumbdrive if it is titled ?Thumbdrive.?

Also, I want it to copy the folder and paste it into the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop directory with a specific folder icon. Is this possible through a batch file? I?m not able to change a folder icon on my thumbdrive due to the file system.

I?d also like to know how I could include in this batch file how to install Spybot, MS Antispyware, Ad-Aware and Spyware Blaster all silently and to have it update automatically.

I'm not in the mood to write out a whole script, but here is the start of it and you can throw in your own stuff to finish it up...
