If you have a list of fully qualified filenames in a text file like:
D:\path\filename1.ext
D:\path\filename2.ext
D:\path\filename3.ext
D:\path\filename4.ext

then something like this untested batch file may work in NT flavours of
Windows.

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in (filelist.txt) do xxcopy "d:%%a" "z:%%a"
