I like the twist on the ROBOCOPY name... Robscopy

If you wouldn't mind then it would be nice to see your source code as there are some things you have done different such as using a TreeView to select paths and also the ability to exclude files (not just folders).

My app is intended to run slightly differently in that I'd like to have it running in the background all of the time and then detect when x amount of time has passed (set by the user) and trigger the ROBOCOPY function, if the destination is a USB device it will wait for the device to be connected.

Attached is my source code so that you can see the direction I've taken. This is no where near finished and does not include running in the background which needs to be added now that Agraham and DZT have been so kind as to show me a way forward. Most of my programming is done during a 30 minute meal break at work
I've commented out the SHELL comand and just use a label to display the arguments for the time being.
