So it is possible that whatever method they use to set file associations is out of date.

Re: FTYPE reports wrong executable file
Interesting, but that doesn't explain what's going on in my case. FTYPE is supposed to tell you what executable file a particular type of file will be opened with.

Re: FTYPE reports wrong executable file
I have updated the FTYPE page with some additional details about this, to make changes now requires applying a hash algorithm so generally has to be applied via group policy.

Re: Xcopy bug
I don't know why it behaves differently for a compressed folder, but I have changed the example on that page to use the syntax which works everywhere.

Re: Xcopy bug
I don't think this is a bug, XCOPY just thinks you are trying to copy a file called C:\demo with no file extension. To tell it this is a directory, you need to add a trailing backslash. When using Robocopy there is no need for a trailing space because robocopy is centered around copying a whole dire...

Re: Execution depends on what comes AFTER the line in question????????
I think the problem here is that your filename includes a close parenthesis ')'
Unless enclosed in quotes, the CMD shell is not clever enough to realise that is part of the filename and instead acts like you are closing the parenthesis opened a couple of lines above.
