Crazy! I just set up a simple Robocopy script for a very small office I service and had the same thing happen. After the copy is complete, the root folder of the destination is set to hidden. I use this script elsewhere, and am not sure why this instance is different.

I reset the directory with the attrib -s -h. Z Edward E.

Robocopy /S /COPYALL /R:1 /W:10 /Log+:c:\path.log I look at the log and the files copied, the problem is that I can't see the folder I just copied in Windows Explorer, but I can go to a command promot and cd to the directory, so its basically hidden from my sight in windows. But I did see the directories being created when I did the robocopy of the directory over from the server. Anyone ever see this type of behavior. Already looked at hidden files and folders.
