My problems have been with the target file.

Sometimes, after the batch file has called the copy program (xxcopy in
the case of the desktop computer, Robocopy in the case of the laptop),
the file copied from the flash drive to the computer will not open. 

When that has happened, I have recopied the file using Norton
Commander, and then it has opened.
