Thank you so much for your reply. That worked great. Also, a co-worker yesterday
told me that he had noticed that Windows seems to have a "default" storage location
for cabinet files, "\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\" Sure enough, I checked my computer and
it was there. Also, I discovered that you can save some disk space by doing a file
search for *.cab on the CD, then select all and click-drag the search result to your
CABS folder. This will make life so much easier!
