I've looked into this, and, sadly there is no way of doing it using
windows batch files - there is no way to wait for Denemo to finish
before copying the user's prefs. We could do copying the set of
preferences, shortcuts etc that the user has on his USB stick when
starting - this Denemo.bat does that:


START /WAIT xcopy /E /Y /Q .denemo-1.2.1 %USERPROFILE%\.denemo-1.2.1
echo finished copy
START /B .\usr\bin\denemo.exe %1
