Yes, there are several programs that can allow me to run my windows box like my 
linux boxes. There is a brand new release of Cygwin as well...

But I hate to use tools that are not part of the base operating system. If I 
end up doing something that breaks with a future version of the script or OS, 
then I'm not truly learning how things are supposed to work in that environment.

I'm working on a .cmd script to do this now, using 'find /v' and a temporary 
file to do this... I'll paste it in here when it's in some kind of working 
shape.
