use the command (with whatever additional parameters you need)

xxcopy /S/E /X%USERNAME%*.zip *.* \wherever

where USERNAME is an environment variable you set up on the system login, if it 
isn't already present. This can be used in conjunction with a /exexclude.lst 
file for the rest of the files you wish to exclude that do not have env vars.
