copy command using system

I came across a problem while running the system file. When the copy command is run using system command , it doesn’t copy files which have size of 0kb.

But the same command works if run thru the dos prompt , which is activated thru windows command prompt.
pls let me know if there is some other way out..

What do you mean by system command? As in you select it and hit copy and it won't copy? Size 0kb should not matter and should still copy.

if command prompt works then you are in business.

Elaborate on the functionality of this please, maybe you are using a batch file?

Regards, Cyber.
