Yes, you certainly are. You most likely will not want to use this command: xcopy c:\arachne g:\arachne\ /s If you want to copy the entire directory "c:\arachne" to g:\arachne, and to include also all subdirectories as well, then try this: xcopy c:\arachne *.* g:\ /s You probably don't want to do that. You will likely want your mail directory and subdirectories thereof, and also your hotlist and address book and some other stuff to remain on your hard drive. Whatever you do, you will have to change your ARACHNE.CFG on your ramdrive so as to indicate the right directories for the ramdrive setup. My advice is to set up everything on your ramdrive the way you want it and then PKZIP everything on the ramdrive by using the "-p" and the "-r" options. Then copy the resulting ZIP file to "C:\ARACHNE". Suppose you have your ZIP file named as "ARACHNE.ZIP". Then in your batch file for extracting the ZIP file to your ramdrive you should have a line that looks like this: pkunzip -d arachne.zip g:\ Good luck!
