[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1912534, member: 38864"] Ok, here's a crazy idea I worked out. Assuming all these folders are located under a single master folder..... using Find Any File, search for the contents of that master folder. Add these as the parameters: File size is greater than 0 [I]is a folde[/I]r set to [I]No[/I]. Now click on [I]Find[/I]. You'll get a new window with all the contents of the master folder whose file sizes are greater than 0 (i.e. everything) and otherwise are not a folder. If you want to be certain... add another parameter where File size is equal to 0 also. In your search results, press COMMAND-A to select everything.
