I would like to copy all .jpg files from all directories on my c: and copy to my g:/pics directory. Is this also possible with the move cmd? Can someone supply the syntax for this? I've had no success so far.
open explorer window to drive/folder with the images (in your case, c:) hold ctrl-F ( Control & F key at same time ) this is 'find' command type *.jpg (I find all .jpg files) wait some time ( could take a while ) window will populate with all .jpg files select all files in window ( ctrl-a, or use origanise->select all ) open another explorer window and navigate to destination ( g:pix was it? ) hit ctrl-v ( or right click in window & choose 'paste' )
copy will happen if you have files of the same name it will complain.

Hi. I know how to do in windows but this doesn't work with the number of files that I have. I can only select a group of files at at time. In DOS I should be able to do all at once if I have the proper DOS syntax. Thanks anyways.

If you use windows7..
open explorer window to drive/folder with the images (in your case, c:)
hold ctrl-F ( Control & F key at same time ) this is 'find' command
type *.jpg (I find all .jpg files)
wait some time ( could take a while )
window will populate with all .jpg files
select all files in window ( ctrl-a, or use origanise->select all )
open another explorer window and navigate to destination ( g:pix was it? )
hit ctrl-v ( or right click in window & choose 'paste' )
copy will happen
if you have files of the same name it will complain.

Anyway, a dos recursive copy of jpg files would be...
xcopy c:pictures*.jpg g:destpictures /s
where c:pictures is your source directory. And g:destpictures is your destination.
type xcopy /? for information about xcopy
