OK, but when I tried to copy it (after highlighting, right click) all I
got was "what's this". Not to worry, I will type in the info you
require.

OK, I found nine i386 folders, eight of them had no more than a few
files in them, the other one had thousands. BUT, I could not find
winnt.exe or winnt32.exe. But if I have read the article, from your link
above, correctly, I assume this folder (i386) with thousands of files in
it is the CD-ROM image.
