Something that will extract files located in a huge batch of folders.

My images have accidently got moved into a folder for each day it was taken on. I am getting RSI from opening each and extracting the files. Does a proggie do this for me?

If they all have the same extension cant you do a search for that file type and when it finds them all do a cut and paste in to one folder. You can then extract quite easily.

You'd think I would have thought of that wouldnt you. Luckily most are the same format.

Extension doesn't really matter, search for *.* and then sort it so you don't get the folders included as well.

good at doing tasks like that, tell it to copy *.jpg to c:\inthisfolderplease, or somethign liek that and give it 20 mins and away you go.
