Thanks! I’ll give it a try…

I’ve done this exact thing in Win98SE. Not sure if it will work in 2000 or XP or across a network (i.e. if you use networkdrivedirectory as a target). I created a PIF file for the following batch file and scheduled it to run using Task Scheduler. The batch copies any files that are new and overwrites any existing files in the target destination that are older than those being copied. Any existing unchanged files in the target directory are left intact:

C:WINDOWSCOMMANDXCOPY.EXE d:source e:target /e /d /y /c

Switches:
/c
Ignores errors (to prevent batch from failing in case a file is, say, marked read only, or some other condition that would halt batch).
/d[:date]
Copies only source files changed on or after the specified date.
/e
Copies all subdirectories, even if they are empty.
/y
Overwites existing files without prompting.
