Is changing a shortcut into an actual file possible

Hi,

I have a problem with a file I downloaded using BitTorrent, which is a peer-to-peer program. I used it to download a very large DVD image (ISO) file from Project Gutenberg. When the download completed I discovered it had saved the file as a shortcut, so I have a 4GB shortcut. In order to burn/access this DVD I need to revert it to it's original ISO format. How could I do this in Windows XP or 98?

Dude, it is illegal what you did. If you want it, you need to buy it.
