Ah, now I hadn't even considered using the gnuwin32 tools (just because I 
so rarely use Windows anymore - in VMware when I need it, natively on one 
machine if I want to extract video from my DVR (because there's no 
current Linux analogue that I've found) and that machine runs Linux 
natively 99% of the time, and my kid's machine because he likes using the 
latest Windows games.

Was a time when I had a machine that ran Windows natively pretty 
constantly, but it's been several years since that machine was Windows-
only. :-)

But I'll definitely check out the gnuwin32 tools for my VM - that'll be 
very handy. :-)
