How can I dump the contents of folders into current dir?

[gigahertz20]

Like lets say I have a folder called "Pictures" and inside that folder is 100 more folders and each folder has 1 jpeg image. I want to be able to select all 100 folders and then tell them to dump their contents into the main "Pictures" folder.

After I did that, I would then delete the 100 folders that are now empty, so I just have one folder called "Pictures" that has 100 jpeg images.

Is there a way to do this easily in Windows 7 or a program I can download?

I think IrfanView has a batch mode which can do this for you.

Another way is to make a PowerShell script, but that is not exactly easy.

I don't code or script. I'll look into IrfanView then. Anybody else have suggestions?

I think you can use the search function at the Pictures folder level with *.jpg as your search criteria. This should produce a list of all the pictures in the sub-folder, then you just highlight them all and drag them into the Pictures folder.

In win 7 go to your top pics folder and search "type:jpg ". Select all and Cut and paste all to your desired destination.

Search again for "type:folder " and delete the results.
