Does anyone know where I can go to ask a question on Windows7 Folders and Command Prompt?

RE: I apologize for this not being NX question
I tried creating a Global folder with shortcuts to all of the folders with the global version of the file in them and then I created a North American folder with shortcuts to all of the folders with that version of the file in them. Then I found out that command prompt does not recognize short cut folders as folders and the replace code in command prompt wont work that way. I guess short cut folders are recognized as links or something instead.
Is there any way to replace all the correct ones quickly rather than one at a time? It is a pain in the but going into each folder and pasting the file one at a time.

2) If i was you, i would create two source directories similar to "source_american" and "source_global"
In these i would place the new source files.
then create a .bat-file with the following content: ( supposing that your destination is on the "F-drive" and that your source files are on the C-drive.)
One line per target directory ( i think )
robocopy C:\source_american F:\directory_a\directory_b /COPY:DAT
robocopy C:\source_american F:\directory_a\directory_c /COPY:DAT
robocopy C:\source_american F:\directory_a\directory_D /COPY:DAT
robocopy C:\source_global F:\directory_1\directory_2 /COPY:DAT
etc etc.
Then you only need to drop the correct files in the source directories, and then double click that .bat file.

Place the files in common directories and use search paths to load the proper Global or NA files. Only one file to update when changes come along.
I am guessing you do not use a PDM system!

Thanks to both of you for the help. I don't know much about bat files but I do have someone here who does, so he can help me get that done right. Thanks.
RE: I apologize for this not being NX question
write it using the "notepad" and when you are done, rename the file from ".txt" to ".bat" and you are done.(!)
