Program to find all documents and picture files?

[paperfist]

I need to backup these types of files so I can reinstall windows. Having a TB drive is awesome, but now I'm forced to scour the drive because files are all over the place.

I know I can use Explorer to do this, but it's going to pull up every pic from every install ever done. For word and excel types of files there's a few different types so it would be nice if a program already knew all of them and could show me where they are located.

Anyone know of a program that could assist me in finding all those files?

TreeSize possibly. Here's a link to the free version.

Thanks for the help guys!

I just learned the hard way not to store documents, pictures, installs, etc on the Windows drive.

Generally, 90% of those items are stored under your user folder, and generally the appropriate folders, ie my docs, my pics, my music.
Unless you have made some manual folders elsewhere or in the case of specific programs like Outlook or Chrome or Firefox as some examples, which store the data and profiles in different folders usually hidden under the user folder
