Not very likely since at xp level, most people don't know pathnames. Besides, how would you automatically generate 1190 full pathnames? I don't think anyone has a list of pathnames laying around. If you have a DVD, do you really have to select 1190 individual files, just grab the directories and use the fact that a DVD has 6gb of space. Or do a quick prune of the files in the directories you grab. The files you are saving aren't organized in ANY fashion?
