XML? To desktop? (Sigh...)
Aha, and if the user is "ll" instead of "xx", write new "program"?

you can try something like:

bcp "select * from dbname.dbo.tablename" queryout "D:\Temp\SampleFile.txt" -T -c -S "Server"

and if you want the columns names to be shown as first row in your file you will need to UNION the column names to your main query, for example:

bcp "select 'c1' as c1, 'c2' as c2 union select cast(c1 as varchar) as c1, cast(c2 as varchar) from dbname.dbo.tablename" queryout "D:\Temp\SampleFile.txt" -T -c -S "Server";
