Something to find files of a certain type

UnworthyBean · 23 Feb 2011 at 20:24

Is there any software that will let me search for all files on a drive excluding files of a certain type? I have a music drive but there is also other files that got accidentally moved along with the music so just want to list all the files that aren't mp3's and such.

Do you have Windows Vista/7? Stick into the search bar:
*.* NOT *.mp3

to find everything which isn't .mp3 etc, or to find everything containing Foo which isn't an MP3:
*Foo*.* NOT *.mp3

+1 for the search tool that actually does what you ask
windows search does NOT search in certain folders and you CANNOT change this
behaviour ... thanks MS
