[?] how to make a simple exe file

I just want to make a simple exe file to copy the contents of one folder to another folder using syntax copy C:\folderA\*.* C:\folderB

Used to be ya just had to put that in a text file and rename the extension from txt to exe or even bat. Now it doesn't work and my Notepad doesn't give any option to save as an exe file (which I've read you can do).

Could be my operating system, I suppose. Am running Win XP Pro SP3 AFAIK 32-bit. Could also be because my knowledge of anything to do with this goes back to DOS days.

Appreciate if someone could tell me if/how to do this.
