| 1135809 | 2010-09-09 09:52:00 | What worked for me was CMD CD \ Which put me at the root of C: Then DIR *.JPG /S /P Or you can omit the /P and use instead. DIR *.JPG /S | C:\FileListJPG.TXT This will give you a text file with the list of jpgs at the root of C: The vertical character between the /S and C:\ above is called a pipe and is a shifted \ . This in Win7 64 Pro. |

| 1135810 | 2010-09-09 10:12:00 | Yeep. Forget that last bit as the pipe command is NOT in Win7. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1135812 | 2010-09-09 10:54:00 | Another Edition that does work instead of the PIPE above. CMD run as admin. CD\ DIR *.JPG /S > C:\FileListJPG.txt You get a list of all JPG files on C: in all subdirectories which will be in the root of C:\ You could send the text file to any other valid drive of course. |

| 1135813 | 2010-09-09 11:28:00 | Also if using W7 run the CMD as administrator, other wise it can throw a big hissy fit and wont run the command ( just tried it) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1135814 | 2010-09-09 11:53:00 | Agreed run as Admin as mentioned!! You can also the above to get a filelist of all files on a drive by using CMD CD\ D:\ DIR *.* /S > D:\AllFiles.txt for example. |

| 1135815 | 2010-09-09 19:54:00 | One final tweak, in case the .jpg and .jpeg files are an issue, is the use of the ? wildcard, so you could now use: dir *.jp? /s and get a list including all jpg and jpeg files, plus potentially a bit of other stuff as well using an extension starting with jp |

| 1135816 | 2010-09-09 22:17:00 | Thanks for all your help guys. It's going to be a weekend job for a mate .... if he cuts my lawns, does the edges and takes a load of rubbish away ... | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1135817 | 2010-09-10 12:47:00 | dir *.jp? /s The ? will bring up everything with .jp and one more character so will not bring up any .jpeg files. You have to use the * character to do that. |
