Failure of xcopy on DOS tool

This command

xcopy c:\Windows\explorer.exe c:\ /y
or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xcopy c:\Windows\explorer.exe c:\ /

in a batch file launched from Explorer executes fine, but from a Textpad external tool, it does not execute nor give a message in the tools window.

What's up, please?

This on TP 5.2.0 and Win XP SP2.

Thanks.

What happens if the Tool executes the batch file vs. the direct command?
