Is it possible, in a batch file, to copy a file to the location of the batch file? For example: if I ran my batch file from the root of the F: drive (which is my USB thumb drive), I would like for the files in question to be copied to root of the F: drive as well. But if after I ran it from the C: drive, I would like those files to be copied to the C: drive. It seems like I would need an environment variable, but I couldn't find what I needed when I ran the SET command in CMD. Any ideas?

It's difficult as one may be able to call your script without getting %0 reset. I hope I'm wrong. – konsolebox Jul 23 '14 at 19:08
