Marty,

You may just be conflicting with your OS settings. Do you have XP folder 
options set to show hidden files? Another possibility is that you are 
using a / rather than a \ as the path folder delimiter. Any time you use 
shell on Windows, you need to replace "/" with "\" in commandString before 
executing the get shell command.
