Xcopy batch backup in Window 7 64 bit

[F@32]

Hi folks, I can't seem to figure out why my batch file does not work anymore after I have upgraded from WinXp 32bit. I prefer xcopy vs Windows backup due to ease of accessing my files.

Batch file called xcopy.bat

xcopy c:\backupsource\*.* d:\backupdest\*.* /d /e /v /y

placed to C:\Users\MyUserID when executed dose nothing but displays the same line and hogs CPU.

If I start cmd console and type in the same exact code it works.
Help is much appreciated.

Outstanding! Thanks for your help. For those who care, you only need to add powershell.exe to you .bat file

powershell.exe xcopy c:\backupsource\*.* d:\backupdest\*.* /d /e /v /y
