Howdy guys, just recycling my old thread here, no real reason to start another.  Anyroad, this isn't a technical issue per se, but more of a 'how to' kind of post.  I have Tommy's default head nif, which I want to put in every one of the meshes I'm including with my DCU mod, that way people can use whoever and whatever they want in EZScript mods without anything going wrong for them.  HOWEVER, I'd very much like to avoid having to paste it into every one of my several hundred meshes.  So, is there a way, using Windows XP, to select a group of folders and paste something into them all at the same time?  If so, how?  Thanks guys, I'll keep experimenting on my own, but so far, no luck.

I thought you could just shift-select them and then do ctrl-v. Does that not work?

You'd think it would, but nope.

The only way I could think to do it would be some kind of Dos batch file using wildcards...
This code isn't right cause I haven't done DOS scripting in a decade, but the logic would be something like this:

FOR %%c in (C:\<path to char dir>\*\skins\*) Do Copy C:\<path to new head file>\head.nif %%c

I don't even know if its worth the time or energy to try and figure it out...
Obviously, before doing anything with DOS and batch, you wanna work on a test folder first.
I've broken LOTS of things this way... :doh:

Haha.......nevermind, I suppose I'll just do it by hand.  Thanks Goggles, I appreciate the help, I'm just not up to doing that! :D
