The problem here is that "Copy" is not an external command (as it
says), but it is built into the "shell" (cmd.exe). To use copy you would
have to run cmd.exe and make the copy command the first parameter
after the /C switch.
It's much better to use "xcopy" anyway, which *is* an external command
and can be run with a string similar to the one use are using now.
