Is there maybe a script that will automaticly copy one file in mulitple folders and subfolders ?

i have to put one .html file into the hundreds of folders and it would be awesome if there is an easier way to do so...

dir *.* /ad /b > list.txt (going from memory - this lists all folders and puts them in a text file

then just do a wildcard search and replace using textpad to add "copy filename" to the start of each line

then rename text file to file.bat

then double click it
