They won't need to, all they have to do is to open ie and have a page
like:

<disc letter="C" type="HD">
 <folder name="Documents and Settings">
  <folder name="..">
   ...
  </folder>
  ...
 </folder>
 <folder name="Program Files">
  ...
 </folder>
 ...
</disc>

The next version of MS Windows will have an RDBMS based file system.

Your note raises the interesting perspective that in some years OS 
might use mixed XML/RDBMS natively instead of a classic file system 
for storing all kinds of information, in particular mail, documents, 
spreadsheets and presentations.

What opportunities would arise from this? Would the benefits outweight

the cost?

I can envision the help desk calls already:

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't just type 'dir' anymore, you have to use
'saxon -o STD_OUT c:\ dir.xslt'"
