Length shouldn't be a problem. Windows can have up to 255 characters I believe which should be as much/more than MacOS. xcopy J:MacFiles*.* C:Poser /s Should work--don't know what your source paths look like for the Mac files--that's the way it works in windows. One possible problem is spaces in the path: xcopy J:Program FilesMetacreationsPoser 4*.* will error. You need to use quoues to handle the spaces: xcopy "J:Program FilesMetacreationsPoser 4". If you're really brave/desperate, I'll post a script to semi-automate the process. No drag and drop, you'll have to paste the paths manually but it should handle the quotes and the trailing 's for you so you would only have to copy the paths directly from Explorer's address box and paste them in the prompts. WARNING: I've only tested this briefly. It didn't destroy anything on my system but use at your own risk. It's quick and dirty--test it first on something non-critical.
