Search For Video Files And Display Them Using a batch file in windows

In windows you need to be able to see the file's extension so you can rename a .txt file to .bat

This batch code I wrote searches your C:\ drive for video files and drops the results into a file. That file is then processed into links on a web-page. The web-page is then opened for you to view. Click the links to view the file, right click -> save as to save to another place on your computer. I use it a lot after browsing videos on the web. It's fun to see what videos end up cached (left on the computer from browsing)

Insert this into a file named vid-search.txt
Then save, rename the file vid-search.bat
Then open the vid-search.bat file like you would any file. It will work its magic.

Xeek is just one of my many online aliases
