How to make a batch file copy itself in all folders and subfolders

I want to make a batch file copy itself in all folders and subfolders. For example : i have a folder on my desktop called "root". inside that folder i have 3 folders : 'a','b' and 'c'. Inside 'a' there are yet other folders a1, and a2.

Now i want to make a batch file to copy itself in every folder available.

I tried using for loop like this:

for /d %%a in (*.*) do copy file.txt "%%a"

but it doesn't copy to all folders

Please help thnx
