yes that is what i want could ask one more question, how do i get it to run so to speak, i want it to run by double clicking on it if that is possible?

ok know it is a .bat file and this is what i have come up with but it doesnt seem to copy the file over?

xcopy E:\bookmarks.html C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile

How about
xcopy "E:\bookmarks.html" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile"

Try that.
