Quick Disk Copying

SUMMARY: Duplicate disks quickly with Windows 95.

Do you do a lot of disk duplication with Windows 95? If so, you might want to create a shortcut on your desktop that, when double-clicked, will duplicate the contents of your A: drive. To do so, right-click on your desktop and choose "New," then "Shortcut" from the pop-up menus which appear. For the command-line on the dialog box that appears, enter "diskcopy a: a:" without the quotes. For the name of the shortcut, choose what you'd like the shortcut name to be. Now, choose an icon for the shortcut. When you're done, you will have an icon you can double-click to easily copy disks in your A: drive.
