Hi there!

I want to copy all files inside i386 but not the folders inside it. What i use is:

xcopy /Y /e %CDROM%\i386\*.* %SystemRoot%\Source\i386\
DEL /q /f %SystemRoot%\Source\i386\DOCS\*.*
DEL /q /f %SystemRoot%\Source\i386\DRIVERS\*.*
DEL /q /f %SystemRoot%\Source\i386\SOFTWARE\*.*
DEL /q /f %SystemRoot%\Source\i386\THEMES\*.*

Obviously this takes much more time than just copying the files inside i386, because THEMES and SOFTWARE folders are BIG (and they don't get deleted too), so i wonder if is there another option that just copies all files inside i386 but not any of the folders inside it
