   Hi,   
      
   as far as I know xcopy never asks this question if there is any wildcard   
   in source or in destination. If you have an example please let me know.   
      
   On the other hand, in similiar cases you could prepare a file (e.g.   
   named "FF") which contains a billion F's. Then you could try:   
      
   xcopy [source] [destination]
