Default How to set "Verify On" at XP startup ?

In Win98, an "verify on" entry inside the autoexec.bat batch file
ensures that each and every copy operation is being done by bit-by-bit
verification.

I am looking for a way to do such a thing on XP.

I tried setting up a script at the startup/shutdown script, hoping
that when the machine is booted up, the "verify on" option would be
loaded. Apparently what I did failed miserably.

So I am here looking for help.

Can any of you Gurus tell me how to automate this "verify on" thing
for XP, so that every time the PC is booted, XP loads in the "verify
on" thing automatically, resulting in each and every copy / move
operation are verified bit-by-bit ?

Would be very appreciative of any of your suggestion and/or opinion.

Thanks !

You may have apprehended thiings backwards.
1. This is a "parameter" of the COPY utility built into
operating systems, which may or may not be available
in any particular version of MS-DOS (as Win98) or its
avatars (e.g. XP: both have this function.)
2. Win98 may use AUTOEXEC.BAT at boot but does
not require it (as Win95 did.)
3. AUTOEXEC.BAT never requires any COPY functions
with or without /V

Better repost in a WiinXP NG explaining which COPY
processes you want to run at boot.

First off, you've posted to a Win98 newsgroup...
you should have kept your question on an XP group.

However, the "verify" option on XP

is simply invoked with the /V switch


If you are looking for a more robust "copy" function
I suggest you use robocopy from the XP resource kit

No it doesn't (at least not in Vista, I didn't bother to verify this
with XP).

So if one sets Verify On within Autoexec, does that effect copies done
through Win98? Or are the DOS and Windows environments unrelated on
something like that.

If you didn't verify with XP then why are you bothering replying to an
XP group? Windows Explorer always copies with verify on and I would be
surprised if Vista did this any differently.

No it doesn't. I just verified this with a stock XP installation.
Explorer didn't very the copy after it was completed, so you're wrong.

How exactly did you verify if Explorer.exe verified its file copy?

I ran Process Monitor while the copy was going and looked to see if
Explorer tried to read the destination file or only wrote to it. (It
only wrote to it)
