Can I Use XCOPY in an SMS Package to Copy Files Around?

I want to copy a few files from the Package Source directory to every C: drive on our network.

Can I create an xcopy command to work in SMS for example “xcopy fred.lnk c:\docs and settings\all users\desktop”? It seems like overkill to have to use SMS Installer.

I've used xcopy in batch files that were Advertised programs. Worked for me in training classes, but I had to set the program to require a drive letter (instead of a UNC). Once I did that, it worked fine.
