    Ok so basically i was wondering if it is possible to have a program copy itself into every directory on the system. If it is possible can you please post the source code -Ryan M.

          I'm curious. What purpose, nefarious or otherwise, does it serve to copy an .EXE to every directory on a machine? It's not an action that does anything dangerous to the machine. The only detrimental affect it has is to eat up disk space, and annoy the user who has to go clean the damn thing up.
