Not on 7 yet. I understand IT has slated the move sometime before the end of the year.

Cygwin...sounds like vast overkill. I’ve got a simple batch file that does the trick, but you have to have at least one folder in a directory to invoke it.

It will be a bit of a lurch from W2K or XP, but well worth it. I hated Vista after XP, but I find Win7 quite good. I hope you do too.

Oh, it is indeed vast overkill. OTOH it's free and doesn't step on anything else, and you get the entire Unix/Linux command set. Assuming that's of any interest, of course.
